Title:
GAS GENERATOR CONTAINING FLASH SUPPRESSANT
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2006022753
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
Flame suppressants (14) or catalysts (14), independent of the gas generant composition (12), reduce the flame front and carbon monoxide produced by combustion of gas generating compositions employed within gas generating systems (16) such as vehicle occupant restraint systems, for example. Heterogeneous distribution of the flash suppressant and the gas generant within the gas generant bed facilitates, upon gas generator activation, a reduction in flame front of any known gas generant without reformulating the gas generating composition.
