New Product: Flat Cross-Section Yarn |
|
|
| Toray has developed innovative airbag fabrics with flat-cross section yarn that can achieve low air permeability while being compact and simultaneously lowering costs. |
|
| Advantages |
| |
- Flat cross-section yarn results in thinner and more compact fabric for airbags.
- Lower air permeability is achieved through a more efficient alignment of the flat cross-section yarn.
- Due to the smooth surface of flat cross-section yarn, a lower amount of coated silicon is required, thereby reducing production costs
