BOSS Air Bags

STRONGEST IN THE AUTOMOTIVE BUSINESS

SO WHY BOSS AIR BAGS?

WELL BECAUSE WE DON'T JUST TELL YOU...WE SHOW YOU!

BOSS Air Suspension air bags are manufactured in our very own factory to our specifications. Built tough for Australasian conditions.

While other companies piece together air bags kits, using airbags sourced from offshore suppliers. Meaning they have no control over the quality of the product, such as Chinese air bags. While they look good they can deteriorate quickly and the factories don't enforce strict quality control like we do at BOSS. 

BOSS Airbags did the opposite and invested time and money in setting up our own equipment and manufacturing practices.

LEADING THE WAY IN AIRBAG SEALING TECHNOLOGY

BOSS also leads the way in bag sealing technology. It utilises forged ring and stamped top plate assemblies. This ensures long life and removing the possibility of leaking often found on "steel-crimp" style airbags. BOSS bags are tested to pressures exceeding 750psi by independent testing agencies which ensures BOSS has some of the safest, if not THE safest airbags on the market today.

BOSS EXTREME SERIES 2 AIRBAGS

BOSS Extreme air bags are the benchmark in competition air suspension systems. They are lab tested in Australia to over 750psi ( working pressure 0 - 160psi ) make the extreme series BOSS airbags the best choice for safety and performance. They are available in #2500 double bellow, #2600 double bellow and #2600 triple bellow configurations. BOSS airbags come with the best warranty in the business, if the bag should fail due to manufacturing abnormalities they will be replaces free of charge.

THE BENCHMARK IN AIR BAG TECHNOLOGY

BOSS ARE TRANSPARENT. We provide you with leading air suspension technology and give you detailed information on construction of the bags. Thus allowing you to make a sound decision.

Quality is paramount to us, therefore we infuse our DNA onto every air bag. All our BOSS airbags are branded with our trademark to prove you have a genuine BOSS air bag. Thus guaranteeing you extensive Australasian warranty.
Over 15,000 Australian customers already know how robust and reliable our airbags are. Don't run with products that have not stood the test of time with a limited history. It's not worth the risk!

BOSS AIR BAG HISTORY -10YRS OF MANUFACTURING OUR OWN AIR BAGS

In 2005 BOSS commissioned it's own premises for air bag manufacturing. Over the years we've been able to make adjustments in our processes. Allowing us to manufacture a truly unique airbag, in both performance and durability.

Which are also not available anywhere else in Australasia. Innovative "cord angle weaving" & "multi strand strengthening" produce an airbag that can exceed 600psi in hydrostatic testing. Also over 480psi in "shock pressure" testing, which is the most brutal test that can be done. This testing far exceeds the specification of any other air bag on the market.

Specifications


  • Support wires - 9 high tensile central, 4 each end.
  • Cured natural rubber.
  • Ballistic woven reinforcing.
  • 6mm Zinc plated steel end caps
  • Burst Pressure - Over 600psi.
  • Independent Test Pressure - 480psi.
  • Recommended working range - 5 -160psi.
  • Boss airbags have a recommended test pressure of 480psi. That meets the pressure vessel industry guidelines of 3 times the maximum working pressure.
  • BOSS airbags are undeniably the Strongest in the automotive industry and exceed any other airbags brands by nearly DOUBLE

MANUFACTURING PROCESS

Every BOSS airbag is manufactured with our own equipment using a unique proprietary blend of natural rubber. Hi tensile steel cords and Ballistic woven reinforcing.

  • The 17 hi-tensile rings are formed. Then the natural rubber with the ballistic weave is placed around a mold. Ready for high temperature and high pressure curing.
  • An internal bladder is then placed inside the raw air bag. Before the whole assembly is placed into out molding machine for 20 minutes.
  • This machine creates the shape, cures the natural rubber, and creates a consistent thickness.
  • The internal bladder is inflated at this time to over 500psi while the heat curing process is taking place.
  • Once the airbag has taken it's new form it's removed from the mold and left to cool naturally.

AIRBAG COMPOSITION

What makes our airbags so good?

The proprietary ballistic material used for the woven reinforcing on the airbag wall. Along with the specific spacing and angle of the weave, is what gives our air bag its' unique strength.

The bead ring ends of the bag is constructed of 4 Hi - tensile cords at each end. Ensuring that the top and bottom hold their shape and can't be pulled away form the Aluminium clamping ring.

The centre of the air bag (the part of the bag with the most stress) is constructed using 9 strands of  Hi-tensile steel to form an indestructible centre support.

Our computer aided lamination process with an exclusive ribbed inside texture. Ensures seamless molding lessening the possibility of failure.

 

BEWARE: Some other brands use crimped on end caps. Crimped or "Banded" air bags are prone to popping the end caps out at anything over 100psi. They often simply pull the end caps out when the bag is fully extended. Like when the wheel drops into a hole or off a curb.
