Abstract: A new adhesive coating composition, particularly for use on airbag fabrics, which is composed of a silicone polymer and an appreciable level of a copolymer of ethylene and a polar monomer, is provided. This coating provides excellent adhesive properties to the coated fabric and provides a synergistic effect such that lower gas permeability upon inflation may be obtained with this coating than might be achieved with the silicone polymer alone. Additionally, such a coating allows maximization of the adhesion characteristics on one-piece woven airbag fabric such that blistering upon high-pressure inflation can be reduced, while retaining a high degree of inflation gas retention. Fabric treated with this material in the manner described herein permits reduction in the cost of the coating itself (by reducing the use of expensive silicone polymers). Airbag fabrics and cushions, as well as methods of making and using such a novel airbag coating material are also encompassed within this invention.

Abstract: A polyester resin and reinforcement composite for use in the manufacture of glass fiber-reinforced polyester products is disclosed. The composite is prepared using an initiator which has been microencapsulated in order to prevent initiator-induced cross-linking of the resin reactants. The initiator is released during the molding of the composite by rupture of the microcapsules due to internal vapor pressure developed at a preselected temperature. The encapsulation of the initiator increases the storage life and temperature stability of the composites prior to molding. The encapsulation of the initiator also provides improved homogeneity and increased flowability of the composites during molding, an enables the provision of molded polyester products having higher degrees of cure and more defect-free finish surfaces.
