Abstract
An inflatable vehicle safety device is provided that comprises an inflator, a fluid compartment, and a heat shield. The inflator is capable of providing an inflation fluid used to inflate the fluid compartment. The heat shield, which is located within the fluid compartment, comprises a fabric layer and a thermal barrier layer located adjacent to the fabric layer. The thermal barrier layer includes at least one layer of silicone elastomer and one or more silicone topcoats. The heat shield has a thermal resistance value of six seconds or more at 725° C. when tested in a hot rod thermal resistivity test.
