Abstract: Provided herein are specific coating compositions, which are used as a monolithic coating layer for airbags. Preferably, these coating compositions are comprised of urethanes, which are blended together, where at least one of the urethane components is inherently flame retardant and the other of which is a urethane with gas-retaining properties.

The resulting coating compositions (that is, the blends of gas-retaining urethane and flame retardant urethane), when applied as a single layer to an airbag fabric, result in an airbag with good gas retention, flame retardance, anti-blocking properties, and aging stability.

The surfactant comprises a first high molecular weight compound having a weight-average molecular weight of at least 10000 and a second high molecular weight compound having a weight-average molecular weight of not less than 150 and less than 10000.

In addition, an interior material which is a fabric coated with the synthetic resin composition is provided. In the interior material, the texture, flame retardation, deodorization and light fastness improve without the deterioration of workability.
