Seat Skins - Airbag Compatibility Is Essential!

Explore the high-tech wonders of our seat skin technology! Discovering how our seat skins and in-seat airbag technology work hand in hand!

Original OEM tear seam technology

We employ the original & highly sophisticated OEM tear seam technology, a standard utilized by car manufacturers worldwide. This meticulous engineering ensures the tear seam is robust enough to endure everyday seat usage, yet sufficiently fragile to enable controlled separation upon airbag deployment. The tear seam is directly aligned with the car's airbag technology.

The tear seam's positioning and length are methodically regulated, crucial for accommodating the airbag's safe passage through the seat while preventing harm or impairment.

In the production of our seat skins, meticulous testing and regulation of tear seams play a vital role in guaranteeing their optimal performance. These seams undergo rigorous examination using computerized testing equipment, subjecting them to precise force measurements. If discrepancies arise in terms of strength, adjustments are promptly implemented on the sewing machine to fine-tune the tear seam technology, ensuring its reliability.

Furthermore, the tear seam technology encompasses specific mandates for thread tension, stitching length, and stitching length limits, all of which are strictly adhered to. This comprehensive approach safeguards the integrity of the tear seam technology, maintaining its effectiveness and compliance with exacting standards.

Airbag deployment you can trust!

Implementing well-documented "tear seams" stands as a pivotal system, meticulously safeguarding quality and safety in seat skin manufacturing. The meticulous control and testing of these seams throughout production are imperative, ensuring both their optimal operation and the effective deployment of airbags during emergency situations.

Our seat skins have garnered approval for precise airbag deployment from esteemed entities such as TÜV and The Federal Motor Transport Authority in Germany (KBA). These rigorous assessments were conducted under stringent standards, even in extreme temperature conditions spanning from -35 °C to 85 °C. Furthermore, the original side airbag engineering enables complete airbag expansion in an astonishingly brief timeframe of just 14 milliseconds (0.014 seconds)!

Seat skin airbag technology: Why it deserves your attention?

Choosing safety is paramount, and that's our commitment to you. By opting for seat covers that haven't undergone official testing, you're taking an unnecessary risk that could have severe consequences. Without such testing, there's no assurance your airbags will activate correctly in the critical moments of a collision. This is due to the possibility of the airbag deploying under the seat cover instead of through a designated seam, potentially resulting in dire outcomes for passengers.

Your responsibility to those you care about is paramount. Our seat skin airbag technology guarantees safe and reliable airbag deployment. Your safety isn't negotiable—it's an absolute necessity!
