  • Combustible composition for use in vehicle safety systems
    Patent number: 6136111
    Abstract: Disclosed are compositions that are useful as microgas-generators, which can be used as propellants in airbags or seatbelt pretensioners. The compositions use a fuel which comprises an organic compound having a high ratio of the number of reactive carbon-oxygen groups to the total number of carbon atoms. The compositions also optionally use an oxidizer to supply oxygen to the fuel and/or a binding agent to form the fuel and optional oxidizer into particles. The compositions are useful as ignitors or squibbs, and can be used in industrial tools, seatbelt pretensioning systems, and airbags.
