Airbag fabric and method for production thereof

An air bag textile material (I) comprises warp and weft fibers of synthetic fibers and/or filaments, woven in a density such that there are free openings between crossing points to form an at least microporous structure in the raw textile whereby crystalline and/or amorphous particles are impregnated at least partially between the crossing points. An Independent claim is also included for a process for the production of the textile (I) by wet chemical pad treatment of a microporous synthetic textile such that a sheet of the textile is passed through an aqueous dispersion of colloidal silicic acid, followed by drying and optionally coating with a polymer.
