The global market for Silicone fabrics is primarily being driven by the growth of the industrial sector, the growing need for protective gear, and the increasing application of Silicone textiles in the furniture and upholstery sectors. Silicone coating has various advantages over uncoated fabrics, including increased durability, air permeability, ease of deployment, and longevity. Silicone-coated fabric is replacing uncoated fabric in the production of airbags because of these advantages. Passengers may suffer burn injuries due to the high temperatures produced during airbag deployment. The Silicone coating on the airbag helps it disperse and contain heat without ripping or tearing when deployed. Silicone-coated airbags have several benefits, including resistance to heat and airbag protection, rapid deflation after the maximum inflated pressure is reached, and a lower environmental impact than neoprene-coated alternatives. Silicone can be used to provide a waterproof barrier and keep airbag fabrics like nylon chemically inert because of their remarkable compatibility with Silicone. Automotive airbags made from Silicone-coated fabrics are expected to become more popular as a result of the aforementioned advantages. Safety regulations, increasing installation rates, and a growing need for frontal, curtain/side, and knee airbags all point to a bright future for the Silicone fabrics industry in the automotive airbags application in the next years.
Government rules concerning passenger safety in automobiles, the expansion of manufacturing sectors, the rising need for protective apparel, and the expanding use of silicon textiles in the upholstery and furnishing industries are the primary forces pushing the global demand for silicone fabrics higher. When compared to fabrics without a silicone coating, these characteristics—strength, air permeability, deployment, and durability—are all improved. These advantages have pushed airbag producers and car OEMs to transition from uncoated fabric to silicone-coated fabric to make airbags. When deployed, airbags generate heat that might put passengers at risk of being burned. Silicone coatings can be applied to airbags to help them dissipate or control heat during deployment without tearing or ripping. Silicone-coated airbags offer superior thermal resistance and airbag protection compared to neoprene-coated airbags, and they deflate rapidly after the peak inflation pressure is reached. Furthermore, silicone can form a protective layer against moisture and stay chemically inert because of its great compatibility with commonly used airbag textiles like nylon. Automotive airbags produced from silicone-coated fabric are anticipated to experience high demand due to these benefits. The market for silicone textiles used in automobile airbags is predicted to develop in the next years due to stringent safety regulations and rising installation rates and demand for frontal, curtain/side, and knee airbags.
In 2019, 22,416 people were killed in motor vehicle accidents in the United States, according to data from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. 57% of all car passenger fatalities include occupants in the front seats, whereas 23% involve occupants in the side seats. As a result, the government has enacted a number of restrictions aimed at decreasing the number of people killed in accidents. To lessen the likelihood of injury to the upper body or head in the event of a collision, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) mandated the installation of frontal airbags in all passenger cars in 1998 and in all SUVs and vans in 1999.
Many alternatives to silicone-coated fabrics are on the market. Silicone-coated fabrics have many alternatives, including elastomer-coated fabrics like PTFE, TPO, TPU, and rubber-coated fabrics, polymer-coated fabrics, leather, uncoated fabrics, and plastic items. The chemical processing, textile, screen printing, and electronic sectors are just a few of the many businesses that make use of composite textiles like PTFE. Because they have the desirable high-performance characteristics of PTFE, these textiles find widespread use in industrial settings. For further safety in dangerous situations, protective clothing made from PTFE materials is widely utilized in the textile sector. Tents, canopies, tarps, and rain ponchos are just some of the many uses for untreated fabrics and plastic sheets.
Silicone coated fabric, however, is employed because it performs better than alternatives. It's possible for it to display improved characteristics such as increased durability, increased resistance to heat and UV radiation, and so on. However, taking into account the low cost of alternatives. In developing economies like China, India, and the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), however, Silicone fabrics are challenged by cheaper Elastomer and polymer-coated alternatives. Fabrics coated with silicone are more expensive and are therefore not as extensively used as fabrics coated with polymer or elastomer.
When compared to alternatives like neoprene coating, silicone-coated airbags offer advantages including rapid deflation after the maximum inflated pressure is reached, increased airbag protection, and resistance to heat. Additionally, Silicone's remarkable compatibility with standard airbag materials like nylon allows it to build a moisture-resistant barrier while being chemically inert. Silicone-coated fabrics will almost probably replace conventional foam in automotive airbags as a result of these benefits. As a result, safety standards, along with higher installation rates and demand for knee, curtain/side, and frontal airbags, are expected to enhance demand for Silicone textiles in the production of vehicle airbags during the next few years.
Fabrics treated with Silicone are interchangeable with other materials. Silicone-coated fabrics have a number of common substitutes, including rubber-coated fabrics, TPO, PTFE, and TPU; plastic; leather; uncoated textiles; and polymer-coated products. PTFE fabrics are a type of composite fabric used in a variety of fields, including electronics, screen printing, textiles, and chemical processing. Because of their optimal PTFE high-performance qualities, these textiles are widely employed in industrial settings. The textile sector, for instance, makes use of PTFE fabrics.
