Abstract

The present invention relates to a process for the production of a yarn consisting of a squared-analogous cross-section polyamide filament for uncoated airbag fabrics, characterized in that the process comprises the steps of: heating and melting a raw material of polyamide, extruding the molten polyamide through a squared-analogous spinning nozzle to form a spun filament, cooling and solidifying the spun filament, followed by drawing the filament, to obtain a squared-analogous cross-section drawn yarn; to uncoated fabrics for the manufacture of airbags prepared by the said process, characterized in that the fabrics are prepared from a yarn consisting of a squared-analogous cross-section polyamide filament and exhibit low air permeability, enhanced flame resistance and aging performance against the environment; and to a use of the uncoated fabrics for the manufacture of airbags with a low air permeability prepared therefrom.
