Calling an airbag fabric that didn’t meet specification a “second” can be a little misleading. These specialty ballistic fabrics are required to meet extremely stringent performance requirements, and if anything is out of spec, it cannot be used to make an airbag. Although a fabric might not pass for airbag applications, it usually is still a very high quality material. Airbag fabric suppliers that sell their seconds are Diversitex Inc., West Caldwell, N.J., 201/808-4566; Highland Industries, Greensboro, N.C., 800/423-4773; Milliken & Co., New York City, 212/819-4649; and JPS Industrial Corp., Greenville, S.C., 803/239-4808.
