A gas generatorincludes a composition that contains a nonmetal perchlorate such as ammonium perchlorate as a first oxidizer, a secondary metal nitrate oxidizer such as strontium nitrate or sodium nitrate, a first fuel such as maleic hydrazide and salts thereof, and a second nitrogen-containing fuel such as nitroguanidine or guanidine nitrate. Gas generating systemssuch as vehicle occupant protection systems, containing the gas generator, are also provided.

Auto-ignition composition

Disclosed are gas generating compositions and methods of making and used them.

Gas generating compositions and methods of making and using thereof

An improved ignition and/or booster composition contains a boron-containing constituent such as boron carbide or a metal boride, and, an oxidizer such as potassium perchlorate. A gas generator and a vehicle occupant protection system containing the composition are also included.

Booster composition

An inflator containing a housing having a first end and a second end is provided. An igniter is fixed within the first end of the housing for ignition of gas generant charges within the housing. A discrete fuel charge and a discrete oxidizer charge ignitably communicates with the igniter. The fuel charge and the oxidizer charge may be axially aligned and are substantially simultaneously combusted upon actuation of the inflator.

Inflator

Gas generating compositions include a combination of melamine and maleic hydrazide as a primary fuel; and a primary oxidizer consisting of ammonium nitrate and potassium chlorate. Gas generators and vehicle occupant protection systems incorporating the present compositions are also described.
