Polyester safety yarn
(seat belt and polyester airbag)
Polyester filaments are offered at approx. 40-50% of the
price of comparable polyamide filaments and are therefore
becoming increasingly interesting as the material for airbag
yarns. With the first commercial application in curtain
airbags, this transition has just begun and is now expanding
fast within Europe and the US markets.
The Oerlikon Barmag safety yarn concept is also well
prepared for this development. The special 8-end take-up
design was engineered for the production of high dpf seat
belt yarn with high-tenacity and non-break filaments, but also

reveals its full potential for the high-quality demands in lower
deniers that are used in the production of airbag yarns, for
example.
The Single Filament Layer (SFL) – patent pending – technology
ensures an extremely gentle yarn path and a very
uniform heating of the filaments using the SFL concept. This
is the key factor for uniform dye take-up.
