A two-layer fabric designed for the construction of inflatable products is the latest invention from Korea's Kolon Industries Inc. The construction involves weaving two fabrics simultaneously with provision made for what International Patent WO 2004042128 describes "an attachment area". With such a material, claims the company from Kachon City,much of the sewing can be eliminated when making the inflatable product. As such, the fabric is suitable for making airbags, particularly side curtains.
