Patent ID: 7510987

Claim:
A coated base fabric for airbags comprising a silicone resin coating applied to a base fabric formed of flattened cross-section yarns having a degree of filament cross-section flatness (expressed as a ratio of the major axis length to the minor axis length of the filament cross-section) of from 1.5 to 8, wherein the number of entanglements in the filaments of warp yarn and weft yarn in the base fabric is at most 2/m and the filaments of the warp yarn and the weft yarn, respectively, are aligned in the base fabric such that the total average horizontal index (HI) represented by the following formula falls within a range of from 0.75 to 1.0, and the amount of the silicone resin adhered to the fabric is from 5 to 20 g/m 2 : HI =(Î£ hi )/ f wherein hi=cos Î¸, Î¸ indicates the angle between the major axis direction of each filament and the horizontal direction of the fabric, f indicates the number of the filaments.
