Nylon has been the material of choice for airbag construction because of its specific strength and dimensional stability during deployment. Of the nylons, nylon 6,6 has been widely used in airbag construction. In the article, the authors attempted to compare the performance of several commercial nylon 6,6 and nylon 6 fabrics offered, for use, to the auto industry. The performance of four traditional nylon 6,6 fabrics are compared with identical fabrics made from nylon 6 fibers. A test procedure championed by Chrysler was used but was developed in the laboratory called the blister-inflation. This test mimics the biaxial deformation of airbag fabric in a manner similar to the deformation of airbag fabric during actual deployment. Several other engineering properties of interest in airbag application are also addressed for comparison purposes.
