Tires
The tyre is the interface between a vehicle and
the road surface. A tyre is a textile reinforced
composite structure where various textile
components are embedded in a rubber matrix
Glass fibre has a relatively high modulus and strength compared to other high-
tenacity reinforcing fibres such as nylon, polyester, and viscose. These properties are
successfully utilised in the belt of bias-belted tyre construction
steel cord: high strength and stiffness, is used for belt construction in radial
automotive tyres.
Steel cord reinforced radial-ply tyres provide high puncture and cut resistance. They
help to increase tread life. Steel cord sidewalls absorb flexing better than other
materials
Kevlar particularly for high performance car tyres. lighter tyres for better performance.
Outstanding thermal resistance, very good thermomechanical responses, accompanied
by good fatigue resistance and dimensional stability, make Kevlar an ideal fibre to
reinforce high speed tyres for rally and racing

In the past, the air bags were coated by Neoprene. Generally, coated air bags are
preferred for driver’s seat and uncoated air bags for side seats. Recently, silicon coated
and uncoated air bags have become very popular due to advantages such as extended
service life, adaptation to heavy duty vehicles, reduced module size, cost reduction,
improved recyclability

THE COMPONENT OF AIR BAGS
Air bags production involves three different separate assemblies that combine to form
the finished end product, the air bag module.
Air bag module assemblies are:
