GAS-GENERATING AGENT FOR AIR BAG

Title:

GAS-GENERATING AGENT FOR AIR BAG

Document Type and Number:

WIPO Patent Application WO/1998/029361

Kind Code:

A1

Abstract:

A gas-generating agent for air bags which is characterized by comprising a fuel ingredient comprising a nitrogenous organic compound and an oxidizing agent as the main components and, added thereto, at least one metal nitride or metal carbide which both react with a metallic ingredient contained in the fuel ingredient or oxidizing agent to form slugs. The gas-generating agent eliminates the problem concerning slug collection, which arises when a fuel based on a nitrogenous organic compound is put to practical use. It sufficiently takes advantage of the high rate of gasification of the fuel based on a nitrogenous organic compound to thereby attain a smaller gas generator size. The poorer heat resistance and moldability of fuels based on a nitrogenous organic compound than those of inorganic metal azide compounds have been improved, thus providing a molded gas-generating agent which is tough and has long-term stability.
