Among the many links ensuring travel safety, the reliability of airbags is crucial—and the key to determining airbag performance often lies in a small, unremarkable coating material. Recently, a special coating liquid silicone rubber for airbags named IOTA M1730/M1740 has officially entered the market. With a number of outstanding features, it has brought new breakthroughs to the field of safety protection.
The core advantage of this coating liquid silicone rubber is its super strong self-adhesion to nylon 66 materials. Nylon 66 is a common fabric used in making airbags, and whether the coating can adhere firmly to it directly affects the service life and protective effect of the airbag. In the past, some coatings were prone to peeling and delamination after long-term use. However, this silicone rubber is like a "custom-made" adhesive for nylon 66. No matter how many times it is folded or vibrated, it can adhere tightly without gaps, ensuring that the airbag can function stably at critical moments and providing an extra sense of reassurance for drivers and passengers.
Convenient and fast operation is another highlight of this product. It has low viscosity, flowing as smoothly as water, which allows it to be easily adapted to the automatic pump feeding systems in factories. In the past, when using high-viscosity coatings, problems such as material blockage and uneven feeding often occurred, requiring frequent manual cleaning and adjustment—this was time-consuming and affected efficiency. Now, with this silicone rubber, the machine can automatically and accurately feed materials, eliminating a lot of troubles, significantly accelerating the production rhythm, and reducing material waste.
What is even more surprising is that it also perfectly balances operation time and curing speed. After workers mix the materials, they have enough time to adjust the coating thickness and range without rushing to catch up with the schedule. Once entering the heating and curing stage, however, it can quickly set without long waiting, greatly shortening the overall production cycle. Moreover, the cured silicone rubber is particularly "strong," with excellent tensile and tear resistance. Even when the airbag bears huge pressure during deployment, it can remain stable and not be easily damaged.
Beyond airbags, this coating silicone rubber has a wide range of uses. When applied to architectural textiles, it can make the fabric more waterproof and wear-resistant, extending its service life; when coated on protective clothing, it can improve the protection level of the clothing, providing stronger safety guarantees for people working outdoors, in medical care, and other fields; when used for sealing 3C products, it can effectively isolate dust and moisture, protecting electronic components from normal operation. It is believed that as more enterprises discover its advantages, this multi-functional coating silicone rubber will play a role in more fields and contribute to the upgrading of product quality.
