In a car crash event, an airbag has between 0.02~0.04 seconds to reach its fully inflated state. Any delay in this process would cause physical damage to the vehicle passenger. What allows airbags to perform with such precision and speed is in the airbag inflator. An inflator containing pyrotechnical material or high pressure stored gas that deploys in split seconds of a car crash event. Massive gas content is released into the woven airbag to its fully inflated state. This allows the forward energy of the occupant to be absorbed and minimize the physical harm.
Quality is the most important feature in an inflator as it needs to fulfill harsh environmental conditions and to assure no loss of function throughout the entire vehicle service life.
Depending on intended functions, airbags can be fitted in the following locations--
- Frontal Airbags
- Side Airbags
- Curtain Airbags
- Knee Airbags
- Seatbelt Airbags
