Abstract: A net-like structure has a three-dimensional random loop bonded structure constituted of a thermoplastic elastomer continuous linear body having a fiber size of greater than or equal to 0.1 mm and less than or equal to 3.0 mm. The net-like structure has, in the thickness direction, a solid-section fiber main region mainly including solid-section fibers, a hollow-section fiber main region mainly including hollow-section fibers, and a mixed region including solid-section fibers and hollow-section fibers in a mixed state, located between the solid-section fiber main region and the hollow-section fiber main region. Both solid-section fiber main region-side residual strain of the net-like structure and hollow-section fiber main region-side residual strain of the net-like structure are less than or equal to 20%, and the difference between the solid-section fiber main region-side residual strain and the hollow-section fiber main region-side residual strain is less than or equal to 10 points.

The net-like structure has a three-dimensional random loop bonded structure constituted of a continuous linear body made of a thermoplastic elastomer having a fiber diameter of 0.1-3.0 mm and a styrene content of 10-40 mass %, the net-like structure having an apparent density of 0.005-0.30 g/cm3 and a 40° C. compression residual strain of less than or equal to 35%.

Abstract: A net-like structure of the present invention is one having a three-dimensional random loop bonded structure constituted of a thermoplastic elastomer continuous linear body, wherein the net-like structure has, in a thickness direction thereof, a thin fiber main region, a thick fiber main and a mixed region that is located between the thin fiber main region and the thick fiber main region and includes the thin fibers and the thick fibers in a mixed state, the fiber size of the thick fibers is greater than that of the thin fibers by greater than or equal to 0.07 mm, and the residual strain after 750 N constant load repeated compression at pressurization from the side of the thin fiber main region of the net-like structure is less than or equal to 15%.

Abstract: The purpose of the present invention pertains to a coated fabric used for an automotive airbag, and more particularly, a coated fabric for an airbag most suitable for a rollover curtain airbag which is produced applying a sealing agent to a coated fabric and sewing the resulting fabric and which can keep the adhesion of the sealing agent to the coat resin even after long-term and high-temperature aging. The present coated fabric for an airbag is obtained by applying an addition-polymerizable solvent-free silicone resin onto at least one surface of a synthetic fiber textile, wherein a coating amount of the silicone resin is 15 to 45 g/m2; and a weft strain/warp strain ratio as observed in stretching the coated fabric is 0.30 to 0.65.

Abstract: A method for producing a powdery emulsified fat and oil that releases fats and oils when dissolved in hot water and that has an excellent powder property during storage is provided. The method for producing a powdery emulsified fat and oil includes adding a fat and oil to an aqueous solution containing a meat extract and a salt and emulsifying the mixture, and then drying the emulsified solution. The method for producing a powdery emulsified fat and oil includes emulsifying the aqueous solution that further contains an excipient and then drying the emulsified solution. A powdered soup produced using the obtained powdery emulsified fat and oil has a good aroma and richness, and is provided as a food product with an excellent shelf life.

Abstract: The disclosure describes an air bag having a mechanical characteristic durable against the gas of high output and high temperature generated from an inflator, while reducing amount of the gas leaked from a sewn part of the air bag. The air bag can be used for vehicles and includes a main body part consisting of a base fabric and a sewn part being formed by sewing, with a sewing thread, the main body part into a bag, wherein a difference between an elongation of the sewing thread upon applying a tension of 31.3/a (N/thread) to the sewing thread and an elongation of the base fabric upon applying a tension of 62.5/a to the base fabric (N/stitch), wherein “a” (stitch(es)/cm) is a sewing pitch in the sewn part, is within a range of 0 to 5.0% in both directions of warp and weft, and an air permeability of the sewn part at 40 kPa during an initial stage of development of the air bag is less than 50 mm/cm/sec.

Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide an air bag having a mechanical characteristic durable against the gas of high output and high temperature generated from an inflator which has been compacted in recent years while reducing amount of the gas leaked from sewn part of the air bag. The air bag according to the present invention is an air bag for vehicles comprising a main body part consisting of a base fabric and a sewn part being formed by sewing, with a sewing thread, the above main body part into a bag, characterized in that, the difference between the elongation of the sewing thread upon applying the tension of 31.3/a (N/thread) to the sewing thread and the elongation of the base fabric upon applying the tension of 62.5/a to the base fabric (N/stitch) [wherein “a” (stitch(es)/cm) is a sewing pitch in the sewn part] is within a range of 0 to 5.
