A gas generating composition which can prevent formation of mist is provided. A gas generating composition comprising (a) a glass powder, (b) aluminum hydroxide and/or magnesium hydroxide, (c) an organic compound as fuel, and (d) an oxygen-containing oxidizing agent. By the action of the component (a), combustion residues can be solidified to form a slag, thus preventing formation of mist.

Gas generating composition

A gas-generant-molded-article for air bags which is prepared by molding a gas generant composition into a cylindrical form containing an opening hole, wherein the relationship between the linear burning velocity r (mm/second) of said gas generant composition under a pressure of 70 kgf/cm and a thickness W (mm) of said molded article falls within a range represented by 0.005&lE;W/(2&middot;r)&lE;0.3, with the linear burning velocity preferably falling within a range of from 1 to 12.5 mm/second.

Gas generant for air bag

Gas generant

The present invention is directed to an airbag system that includes a gas generant, which is improved in the defects of gas generants using sodium azide in a practical use and has stable combustion capability. A molecular compound comprising (a) a gas generant component, (b) an oxidant component and (c) a reaction accelerator component, preferably represented by the composition formula (I).
