Abstract: The invention relates to a sizing composition for threads, fibres and filaments. More specifically, the invention relates to threads, fibres and filaments which can be woven using a method that does not involve sizing or a washing step and which have the aforementioned composition on at least part of the surface thereof. The invention also relates to a method of preparing the aforementioned threads, fibres and filaments. The invention further relates to fabrics that are produced from said threads, fibres and filaments, using a method that does not involve sizing or a washing step, such as with a dry loom. In addition, the invention relates to the use of said threads, fibres and filaments and the resulting woven or knit fabrics for safety air bags.

Abstract: A continuous filament thermoplastic polymer/colorant tow, the filaments of which are formed from a composition containing at least one matrix including a thermoplastic polymer and a colorant, and, optionally, at least one light and/or heat stabilizer, and is converted into useful flocked articles, e.g., vehicle interiors, having such properties as good light and/or heat fastness.

Abstract: The invention relates to a coated woven fabric or knit fabric for a safety air bag and to the production method thereof. More specifically, the invention relates to a coated woven fabric or knit fabric for a safety air bag, which is obtained using a method that does not involve a sizing step or a washing step and which is produced from threads having a pre-determined amount of a lubricant composition on the surface thereof. The invention also relates to the use of the aforementioned threads in the area involving the production of coated woven or knit fabrics for safety air bags, as well as to a safety air bag comprising said coated woven or knit fabric.
