“…In this sector, textile fabrics play a significant role too. In addition to ergonomically designed car seats keeping the body in a correct sitting position, it is also essential that the passenger feels no bodily fatigue due to sitting discomfort [2]. Pleasant contact between the body and seat depends on the upholstered section that is mostly composed of a nonwoven, woven or knitted fabric and artificial leather.…”

The role of automotive textile materials is of great importance and therefore this paper analyses the properties of such materials -airbag fabrics and upholstery fabrics. Fundamental characteristics and construction parameters of airbag fabrics and artificial leather with bonded textile fabric on the back side, as well as joining (sewing) and quality of joining places of cut parts are crucial for durability, comfort and aesthetics of the automotive interior design, and therefore were analysed. Airbag fabric specificity and extreme values of several parameters are achieved by manufacturing process, with extremely high densities in the warp and weft direction, resulting in a great strength and air permeability properties of very low level. The most important parameters for upholstery fabrics (artificial leather) durability are breaking force and elongation at break, and they were tested in different circular directions. Tests showed the direction with greater breaking properties, what is of paramount importance.

“…Wool and blends of wool have been traditionally used in aircraft upholstery where fire safety is a major technical challenge. [1][2][3] Wool exhibits relatively low flammability, upon heating it tends to form an expanded char which acts as a thermal barrier and protects the fabric from further damage. 4 In order to comply with the flammability requirements for aircraft interiors (FAR/CS 25.853), wool textiles are often subjected to flame-retardant (FR) treatments.…”

Wool and wool-polyamide blended yarns (88.6% wool–11.4% polyamide 6,6 and 78.5% wool–21.5% polyamide 6,6) were knitted and the produced fabrics were treated by exhaustion method with zirconium complexes. Six different baths containing potassium hexafluorozirconate and zirconium acetate were studied. The flammability hazard was evaluated considering parameters such as the spread of flame, the heat release and the smoke release rate. Regardless of the blend composition, the untreated fabrics could not pass the vertical flammability test. 100% wool fabric could pass the vertical flammability test when treated with only 1% potassium hexafluorozirconate and 10% zirconium acetate solution. Higher compositions of metal complexes were required for the blended fabrics to pass the vertical flammability test. In the cone calorimeter test, 100% wool treated with 5% potassium hexafluorozirconate and 10% zirconium acetate solution gave the lowest peak heat release and smoke release rate values as 146.4 kW/m2 and 1.2 s−1, respectively.

“…Automotive textiles are one of the main groups in technical textiles. Headliners, seat covers, carpets, interior trims, airbags, seat belts and some textile reinforced composites are well-known textile materials used in the automotive [1,2]. In these groups of materials, seat fabrics take a huge portion.…”

“…Foam is used to prevent the wrinkles rising from the upholstery fabric and also to provide comfort, whereas scrim helps trimming of the seat cover and prevents deformation of the foam. Woven polyester fabrics are widely used as upholstery fabrics besides knitted and nonwoven fabrics [1][2][3][4]. The physical and chemical properties of the seat fabrics are very important.…”

Aim of this study was to investigate the effects of filament cross section on the performance of automotive upholstery fabrics. Thirty-six yarns were produced by changing the cross section of poly(ethylene terephthalate) fibers (round, octolobal and W-channel) and the air-jet texturing parameters (overfeed and number of core and effect yarns). After heat-setting and dyeing the yarns were woven into fabrics and laminated. Performance tests of both the air-jet textured yarns and the fabrics were carried out. It was observed that W-channel gave the most different air-jet textured yarn structure. It formed a bulky, uneven yarn structure with many open loops. No pronounced difference in the recovery from strain behaviors of the air-jet textured yarns was recorded. For all the cross-section types, increase in the looped structure resulted in higher permanent elongation values. In case of fabrics, all the filament cross sections gave satisfactory results for the light fastness and the abrasion resistance tests. It was concluded that changing filament cross section had the most significant effect on air permeability. W-channel gave the lowest air permeability, while octolobal gave the highest one.
