The challenge:
When an airbag is deployed the gas generated in the process has to be suppressed until the airbag’s optimum filling pressure has been achieved. Reliable performance of the inflator seal throughout the vehicle’s lifecycle is crucial. Moisture and dirt particles must be prevented from entering the gas generator, and the effectiveness of the inflator seal must be guaranteed both at high and low temperatures.

The solution:
Airbag Inflator Seals based on metal foils reliably ensure optimum deployment of the airbag throughout the vehicle’s entire lifecycle. The specific properties of the range of qualified materials have been adapted to the respective functional requirements.
