An airbag cushion has a plurality of base fabrics and adhesive joints for bonding each of the plurality of base fabrics, wherein the adhesive joint includes a sealing adhesive, a tensile strength (S1) between the base fabric and the adhesive joint is 500 N/5 cm or more, and an application width (L1) and an application thickness (L2) of the adhesive joint satisfy inequality (1):

Airbag cushion

A coated airbag base fabric made of a textile fabric that has an excellent air-barrier property, high heat resistance, improved mountability and compactness and excellent adhesion to a resin film is characterized in that at least one side of the textile fabric is coated with resin, at least part of the single yarns of the fabric are surrounded by the resin, and at least part of the single yarns of the fabric are not surrounded by the resin. An airbag is characterized by using such a coated airbag base fabric. A method for manufacturing the coated airbag base fabric is characterized by applying a resin solution having a viscosity of from 5 to 20 Pa&#xb7;s (5,000 to 20,000 cP) to the textile fabric using a knife coater with a sharp-edged coating knife at the contact pressure between the coating knife and the fabric of from 1 to 15 N/cm.
