Abstract: The main subject of the present invention is a solid pyrotechnic gas generator compound, the composition of which contains, expressed in weight percentages: from 60 to 70% of guanidine nitrate, from 26 to 33%, advantageously 26 to 30%, of potassium perchlorate, from 2.5 to 6% of at least one combustion modifier chosen from transition metal oxides, the precursors of such oxides and mixtures thereof, from 0 to 6% of at least one additive, and does not contain an explosive ingredient. Such a compound is particularly effective for the inflation of side airbags.

Abstract: The subject of the present invention is a pyrotechnic gas-generating product, the composition of which comprises: guanidine nitrate, basic copper nitrate, and potassium perchlorate. Characteristically, said potassium perchlorate represents between 8% and 20% of the total weight of said pyrotechnic product and said composition additionally contains at least one oxide, chosen from metal oxides, metalloid oxides and mixtures thereof; said at least one oxide having a melting point below the combustion temperature of said pyrotechnic product and said at least one oxide representing between 1% and 5% of the total weight of said pyrotechnic product. Said at least one oxide improves the combustion, at low pressure, of said pyrotechnic product.
