Definitions
- Inflatable airbags typically comprise a synthetic fabric, such as nylon, with a thin barrier layer over the fabric for providing an airtight seal.
- the barrier layer is designed to have low permeability and enough flexibility to assist in the folding and unfolding of the airbag.
- the barrier layer must strongly adhere to the synthetic fabric so that it is capable of providing these desirable features.
- An adhesive coating can be used to bond the barrier layer to the fabric. Adhesion between the barrier layer and fabric has a significant impact on the utility of the airbag.
- Lamination films including a barrier layer and an adhesive for bonding to synthetic fabric exist in the prior art.
- the adhesive layer of the film has an especially significant impact on the permeability and peel strength, as well as on the thickness, overall strength, flexibility and adhesive strength of the multilayer film.
- the film compositions are difficult to formulate because each application has unique and specific requirements for the permeability, thickness, overall strength, flexibility, and adhesive strength of the film.
- multilayer films useful for bonding automotive interior trim applications are generally not adequate for inflatable airbag applications.
- Existing films are not ideal for adhering to synthetic fabric in airbag applications because they are costly to manufacture, their permeabilities are too high and their peel strengths are too low.
- the subject invention provides a polyolefin film including an adhesive layer for providing improved adhesion to synthetic fabric, such as nylon, polyester, polyethylene, polypropylene, aramides (such as KEVLAR), or another fibrous fabric.
- synthetic fabric such as nylon, polyester, polyethylene, polypropylene, aramides (such as KEVLAR), or another fibrous fabric.
- the polyolefin film is ideal for inflatable airbag applications.
- the adhesive layer comprises at least one polyolefin grafted with maleic anhydride.
- the adhesive layer has a maleic anhydride surface concentration (c m ) from about .025 g/m 2 to about .250 g/m 2 .
- f m is the weight fraction of the maleic anhydride in the grafted polyolefins
- f g is the weight fraction of the grafted polyolefins in the adhesive layer
- f a is the weight fraction of the adhesive layer in the film
- pf is the density of the film
- t f is the total thickness of the film.
- the polyolefin film provides an economical film for inflatable airbag applications having improved adhesive properties including a high peel strength and low permeability, which are ideal for inflatable airbag applications, especially those having a curtain design.
- the peel strength of the subject invention is greater than about 100 N/m and can be up to about 600 N/m and more. This is a significant improvement over comparative polyolefin films, which typically have peel strengths around 35 N/m.
- the permeability of the subject invention is about .02 cm 3 /sec/cm 2 , which is also a significant improvement over comparative polyolefin films, which typically have permeabilities lower than about .1 cm 3 /sec/cm 2 .
- the film also provides good hydrolytic and UV stability.
- the reactive chemistry between the nylon and the film can enable a more effective adhesive bond between the film and fabric, compared to existing films non-reactive to nylon fabric, such as thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU), which rely on mechanical interlocking only.
- TPU thermoplastic polyurethane
- the effective bond allows the film to perform better over time and after exposure to aggressive media or weathering, compared to non-reactive films, which can de-bond from the fabric if exposed to moisture.
- the bond contributes to the high peel strength and can reduce the amount of required film penetration depth into the fabric, thus reducing stiffness, thickness, and weight.
- the structure of the polyolefins allow high levels of additives or fillers, such as an Mg(OH) 2 flame retardant, to be added to the film.
- the film can be used in other automotive airbag applications, such as first impact airbags and knee airbags, located in front of either the driver or passenger.
- the polyolefin film can also be used in motorcycle airbags, rucksack avalanche airbags, tarpaulins, sails, parachutes, clothing, and architectural fabrics.
- the subject invention also provides a polyolefin film having a long storage life.
- the film has a melting temperature greater than 105° C, and therefore temperature control and ventilation is not required for storage of the film at temperatures under 70° C.
- the storage costs of the subject invention are significantly less than existing silicone coating raw materials, which must be stored in sealed containers, away from moisture, and in a ventilated area under 35° C. Also, unlike silicone coating raw materials, which typically have storage limitations of about 15 months, and a life of about only 24 hours when mixed, the film of the subject invention can be stored up to about three years.
- the inventive polyolefin film can be produced with cost effective raw materials and extrusion processes so that the total production costs are generally lower than prior art films.
- the polyolefins used in the subject invention are less expensive than TPU, copolyesters, and other exotic materials used in many existing films.
- the film of the subject invention does not require mixing and curing chemistry in a chemical plant.
- the film can be applied to the synthetic fabric in one step, such as by an extrusion process.
- the film can be produced, transported, and stored without expensive packaging, such as drums, that must be returned to a supplier.
- the polyolefin film can also be efficiently recycled. Unlike existing laminates having a silicone coating, which must be stripped of the airbag prior to re-use, the polyolefin film of the subject invention can be recycled without expensive stripping or other preparation. Further, unlike existing TPU films laminated to nylon, which typically form an unstable compound that cannot be re-used, the polyolefins used in the film of the subject invention enable a stable, versatile, and re-usable compound when laminated to nylon.
- the polyolefin film includes an adhesive layer for providing improved adhesion to synthetic fabric, such as nylon, polyester, polyethylene, polypropylene, aramides (such as KEVLAR), or another fibrous fabric for inflatable airbag applications.
- the polyolefin film typically includes two layers, the adhesive layer and a barrier layer.
- the adhesive layer includes at least one polyolefin grafted with maleic anhydride
- MAH grafted polyolefin can include more than one MAH grafted polyolefin.

- MAH grafted polyolefins preferably include copolymers of ethylene and at least one C3 to ClO alpha olefin, such as an ethylene-octene block copolymer, an ethylene-octene random copolymer, or an ethylene-butene random copolymer.
- the most preferred MAH grafted polyolefins include from about .4 wt% to about .8 wt% maleic anhydride (MAH).
- the overall adhesive layer can also be a blend of the MAH grafted polyolefins and other materials.
- the adhesive layer preferably includes ungrafted polyolefins each having melting temperatures greater than about 85° C, and most preferably greater than 105° C, but the ungrafted polyolefins are not required.
- the preferred ungrafted polyolefins are elastomeric and have densities from about .86 g/cm 3 to about .91 g/cm 3 and glass transition temperatures from about -35° C to about -60 0 C.
- the preferred ungrafted polyolefins include ethylene-octene block copolymers, such as INFUSE 9000 or INFUSE 9500, available from The Dow Chemical Company.
- Suitable ungrafted polyolefins include, but are not limited to, copolymers of ethylene and at least one C3 to ClO alpha-olefin, such as ethylene-octene random copolymers and low density polyethylene or linear low density polyethylene.
- the adhesive layer can also include anti-block additives for preventing the polyolefins from adhering to one another and to processing equipment, and additional stabilization additives for protecting the film during processing or from light and pigments.
- the adhesive layer has a maleic anhydride surface concentration (c m ) from about
- An adhesive layer having a maleic anhydride surface concentration (c m ) from about .025 g/m 2 to about .250 g/m 2 allows the film to have a high peel strength, with preferably cohesive failure. When the preferred cohesive failure is observed during peel strength testing, the film will break first, rather than peel off. If the maleic anhydride surface concentration (c m ) is above about .250 g/m 2 , the peel strength typically decreases.
- the film typically exhibits adhesive failure, i.e. the polyolefin film will peel off the synthetic fabric without breaking first. Therefore, films having a maleic anhydride surface concentration (c m ) below about .025 g/m 2 or above about .250 g/m 2 are not generally suitable for inflatable airbag applications.
- the weight fraction of the maleic anhydride in the MAH grafted polyolefins can be determined by a Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) Analysis.
- the weight fraction of the grafted polyolefins in the adhesive layer (f g ), weight fraction of the adhesive layer in the film (f a ), density of the film (pf) and total thickness of the film (t f ) can be determined according to various physical testing procedures and standards known in the field.
- the weight percent of MAH can be determined by the ratio of peak heights of the MAH (FTIR MAH ) and the peak heights of maleic acid (FTIR ma ) to the peak heights of the polymer reference (FTIR ref ).
- the peak heights of MAH are at wave number 1791 cm “1
- the peak heights of maleic acid are at 1721 cm “1
- the peak heights of polyethylene which can be used as the polymer reference, are at 2019 cm "1 .
- the ratio of peak heights are multiplied by the appropriate calibration constants (A and B), and the products of the ratios and calibration constants are added together to equal the MAH wt%.
- the MAH wt% is calculated according to the following MAH wt% formula:
- the calibration constant A can be determined using C13 NMR standards, which are known in the field.
- the actual calibration constant may differ slightly depending on the instrument and the polymers.
- the peak heights of maleic acid account for the presence of maleic acid in the polyolefins, which is negligible for freshly grafted polyolefins. However, over time and in the presence of moisture, maleic anhydride is converted to maleic acid. For MAH grafted polyolefins having a high surface area, significant hydrolysis can occur under ambient conditions in just a few days.
- the calibration constant B in Equation 2 is a correction for the difference in extinction coefficients between the anhydride and acid groups, which can be determined by standards known in the field. The MAH wt% formula takes different sample thicknesses into account to normalize the data.
- a sample of the adhesive layer or MAH grafted polyolefin can be prepared for
- the sample of the adhesive layer is about .05 millimeters to about .15 millimeters in thickness and is placed between suitable protective films, such MYLARTM or TEFLONTM, to protect it from the platens of the heating press.
- suitable protective films such MYLARTM or TEFLONTM
- Aluminum foil should not be used as a protective film because MAH reacts with aluminum.
- the sample is then placed in the heating press at about 150-180 0 C and the platens should be under about 10 tons of pressure for about five minutes.
- the sample remains in the heating press for about one hour and then is allowed to cool to room temperature before being scanned in the FTIR.
- a background scan should be run on the FTIR before each sample is scanned, or as needed.
- the sample is placed in an appropriate FTIR sample holder and then scanned in the FTIR.
- the FTIR will typically display an electronic graph providing the peak heights of MAH at wave number 1791 cm “1 , the peak heights of maleic acid at 1721 cm “1 and the peak heights of polyethylene at 2019 cm “1 .
- the FTIR test should have an inherent variability less than +/- 5%.
- the adhesive layer including MAH grafted polyolefins and ungrafted polyolefins and anti-block additives preferably has a melting temperature (T a ) greater than about 105° C, tested using the ASTM D 3418 method.
- the adhesive layer can include a barrier function, in which case the MAH grated polyolefins of the adhesive layer may have a higher density than MAH grated polyolefins of a film including the barrier layer.
- the melting temperature of the adhesive layer (T a ) should be higher than the highest temperature of use of the airbag to prevent blocking.

- the adhesive layer should preferably have an adhesive layer thickness (t a ) from about 5 microns to about 100 microns, and most preferably from about 20 microns to about 35 microns.
- the adhesive layer preferably comprises less than about eighty-five percent (85 %) by volume of the polyolefin film. If the film does not include a barrier layer, the adhesive layer preferably comprises a greater percent of the film.
- the polyolefin film typically includes the barrier layer, which preferably comprises from about 15 % to about 60 % of the volume of the film, and most preferably from about 30 % to about 50 %.
- the barrier layer comprises at least one polymer, typically a polymer resin. Numerous different polymers or polymer blends can be used for the barrier layer, such as those available from the Dow Chemical company, as long as the polyolefin film has a preferred tensile modulus (2% secant modulus) from about 15 MPa to about 30 MPa, tested using the ASTM D 882 method, and a preferred 100% tensile modulus from about 1 MPa to about 3 MPa, tested using the ASTM D 638 method.
- the barrier layer should have a high enough melting temperature and low enough tensile modulus so that it can be coextruded with the adhesive layer, laminated onto the synthetic fabric and used for inflatable airbag applications. It should provide optimal strength, flexibility and permeability to the film.
- the barrier layer prevents blocking between layers of the synthetic fabric and prevents blocking of the film to itself when the airbag is in a rolled-up position and the vehicle is exposed to high temperatures.
- the barrier layer also prevents excessive penetration of the adhesive layer into the fabric. Films including separate adhesive and barrier layers, not coextruded with one another, require more complex manufacturing processes.
- the barrier layer can also include additives, such as a flame retardant, pigment, or lubricant.
- the polyolefin film preferably has a total film thickness from about 25 microns to about 100 microns, and most preferably about 50 microns.
- the film typically has a density from about .893 to about .904 g/cm 3 , tested using the ASTM D 792 method.
- the polyolefin film typically has a melting temperature greater than about 107° C.
- the film should have a melting temperature greater than the highest temperature of use of the airbag so that the film does not block at the highest temperature.
- the polyolefin film preferably has a peel strength greater than about 100 N/m at 23° C. The film may exhibit a peel failure mode being adhesive or cohesive, depending on the specific composition of the barrier layer and adhesive layer.
- the film preferably has a 1% secant tensile modulus from about 200 MPa to about 500 MPa.
- the film preferably has a permeability from about .015 cm 3 /sec/cm 2 to about .100 cm 3 /sec/cm 2 .
- the polyolefin film includes at least one additional layer, for example a tie layer or a recycle layer between the barrier layer and adhesive layer.
- the most preferred tie layers preferably comprise a polyolefin having a density less than about .920 g/cm 3 .
- the most preferred tie layers, for excellent bonding to the adhesive layer and the barrier layer comprise either linear low density polyethylene, ultra low density polyethylene, or metallocene based polyethylene elastomers.
- the preferred recycle layers may comprise these same polyolefins combined with excess material from the adhesive layer and barrier layer.
- the tie layers and recycle layers may reduce the manufacturing costs of the film.
- the polyolefin film can be prepared by extrusion processes known in the field.
- a pelletized form of the adhesive layer can be prepared by a twin screw extruder. If the film is formed without the barrier layer, extrusion coating can be used to apply the adhesive layer to the synthetic fabric. If the polyolefin film includes the barrier layer, the two layer film can be prepared by a blown or cast film extrusion process. The film can then be laminated onto the synthetic fabric, for example nylon 6, 6, polyester, polyethylene, polypropylene, or aramides (such as KEVLAR) with a fusing machine.
- An advantage of using polyester over nylon as the synthetic fabric is the lower cost of the polyester fibers. However, for the same fiber tenacity, polyester fibers have a smaller diameter fiber than nylon 6,6, which leads to a looser weave at the same strength.
- the inventive polyolefin film is superior to the traditional silicone coating in retaining the gas content in the airbag.
- the MAH of the adhesive layer can form polar bonds with the polyester, ensuring high peel strengths of the film to the polyester fabric.
- the polyolefin film should be stored properly so that the MAH surface concentration remains between about .025 g/m 2 to about .250 g/m 2 , which directly impacts the improved peel strength and other preferred properties of the film.
- Moisture content of the film can be about .1 wt% under ambient conditions, which causes the MAH to convert to maleic acid. Therefore, the film should be stored with a desiccant to prevent excessive hydrolysis.
- the conversion of anhydride to acid is reversible by placing the polyolefin film in a vacuum oven having a vacuum level near 30 inches of mercury (Hg) at about 150 0 C.
- Hg inches of mercury
