Title:

GAS GENERATOR COMPOSITION

Document Type and Number:

WIPO Patent Application WO/2001/025169

Kind Code:

A1

Abstract:

A gas generator composition comprising ammonium nitrate as an oxidizing agent, powdery microcrystalline carbon as a reducing agent, and a stabilizer which inhibits the ammonium nitrate from decomposing. The contents of the ammonium nitrate, microcrystalline carbon, and stabilizer are 89 to 99 wt.%, 1 to 6 wt.%, and 0.2 to 6 wt.%, respectively, based on the total amount of these. The content of the microcrystalline carbon is desirably 1.5 to 6 wt.% based on that of the ammonium nitrate, while the content of the stabilizer is desirably 10 to 200 wt.% based on that of the microcrystalline carbon. The composition has excellent long-term stability especially at high temperatures, has a moderate combustion rate, generates substantially no carbon monoxide, has adequate sensitivity, and is easy to handle and inexpensive.
