Global Safety Textiles (GST) is an airbag fabric and cushion manufacturer that has close partnerships with major customers worldwide.
GST uses yarns for airbags produced by HS HYOSUNG ADVANCED MATERIALS and actively responds to various needs of customers based on their techniques cumulated over a long time as they possess all processes necessary to manufacture airbag fabrics and cushions.
'Leading the airbag sector with the title of being “the first in the world”
The company also possesses the capability to produce laminated OPW (One-Piece-Woven) alongside coated OPW by attaching solidified film onto the fabric.
X-tether can ensure a wider interior space by preventing the cushion from expanding more than necessary while also reducing the volume of the cushion.
Flat fabric for airbags consists of nylon 66 and polyester as raw materials and is a fabric manufactured with threads for airbags.
GST supplies customers with a wide range of flat fabrics and high-density, High-performance products that require specially coated fabrics with exceptional techniques and ultimately ensures customers’ safety by producing airbags in different shapes for diverse purposes.
Automotive, motorcycle, and bicycle airbags
The airbag cushion is a flat fabric sewn and made into a cushion.
These airbag cushions are installed in every vehicle to minimize injuries to passengers including the driver.
GST is qualified with outstanding techniques and stable production capabilities even in the development and commercialization of airbag cushions appropriate to the new concept of future mobility.
Automotive airbag, the new concept of future mobility
OPW is an advanced airbag cushion made with technology that allows the airbag to be inflated for a specific time to protect passengers in a vehicle rollover.
Rather than the conventional method of using silicone, GST uses major patented technology for OPW that inhibits gas permeation to the outer surface of the fabric by applying heat indirectly to the film. GST produces OPW that can more safely protect passengers by minimizing gas leakage and maximizing inflation time to protect passengers in a rollover.
Automotive Curtain Airbag
We develop next-generation airbags that can protect varied positions of passengers as fully autonomous driving technologies become commercialized.
3-layer OPW is a method that enables automatically curve upon deployment the airbag to unfold closely to the occupant’s body can have a broader range of protection.
An airbag for vehicles protects the safety of passengers in a car accident. It was initially installed only around the driver’s seat for the safety of the driver, but now airbags are installed in up to 12 areas including the driver’s seat, passengers’ seat, the sides, curtains, and knees.
An airbag for motorcycles protects the safety of the motorcyclist in a motorcycle accident. The airbag can be worn by motorcyclists as an wearable airbag, and the airbag inflates to absorb any impact when the motorcyclist falls off the motorcycle in a collision. It is the only device that significantly enhance rider survival.
An airbag for cyclists protects the safety of cyclists. Cyclists can wear it around their neck and the airbag inflates in a helmet shape in just 0.1 seconds once the shock sensor senses any external impact when there is a collision while cycling.
This device protects the lives of the elderly from slips or falls as the population of the elderly is increasing. This is a product that can avoid fatal injuries and save lives.
Vehicles are equipped with various safety devices, but the key to protecting passengers along with seatbelts is airbags. The performance of the airbag is determined by the fabric, thus flat fabric.
The world’s leading manufacturer of flat fabric for airbags in the world is GST, the airbag brand of HS HYOSUNG ADVANCED MATERIALS.
We have established a global production network with facilities located near key strategic markets around the world, enabling us to provide customized services tailored to our customer’s needs.
