Load leveling yarns and webbings, typically for seat belt

Disclosed is load leveling and impact energy absorption webbing comprising warp yarn. If the webbing is used in seat belts, the webbing provides load leveling behaviour from about 450 pounds (about 2,000 Newtons) to about 1,800 pounds (about 8,000 Newtons) in vehicle collision. The yarn comprises a...

More Information
Summary:Disclosed is load leveling and impact energy absorption webbing comprising warp yarn. If the webbing is used in seat belts, the webbing provides load leveling behaviour from about 450 pounds (about 2,000 Newtons) to about 1,800 pounds (about 8,000 Newtons) in vehicle collision. The yarn comprises a multiplicity of fibers, all of said warp yarns having substantially the same force-displacement profile, are made from polymer having a glass transition temperature in the range from about -40 °C to about +70 °C, and are not made from polybutylene terephthalate homopolymer.
