Abstract
There are currently two principle material types which are used in the manufacture of airbags. They are uncoated nylon (polyamide 66) and coated nylon. Two types of commonly used coatings are Silicone and Neoprene. In general, coated materials are used for driver's side airbags and side impact bags, while passenger side airbags are made from uncoated nylon materials. Different cutting methods are needed for the two different classifications of mate rials. Coated nylon can be cut with traditional mechanical tools such as dies or reci procating knife cutters, due principally to the fact that the coating prevents fraying. On the other hand, uncoated nylon must be cut with a hot tool, such as a laser to pre vent fraying; fraying could compromise the airbag integrity during deployment.
