trim panels and covers.
The straw left over from the linseed harvest was
burnt for many years. However, approximately
25% of fibre component can be used as a basic
material for fibre mouldings. The quality of the
fibres need not meet the high standards of the
textile industry, but it does satisfy the high qual-
ity standards for trim panels.
Flax fibres are highly workable and have excel-
lent material properties.

Occupant protection
There is more to occupant protection than the
airbag, belt tensioner and stable side protection.
Most of the impact energy is absorbed by the
car body. The front seat belts
Achieving such a high standard of safety means have two pyrotechnical belt tensioners which operate
