Abstract
A solid non-azide composition for generating non-toxic nitrogen gas intended for use in the deployment of inflatable safety crash bags for driver and passenger protection in vehicles consists essentially of a non-hydrogen containing tetrazole compound and a non-oxygen containing oxidizer, examples of the tetrazole being di-alkali metal or mono-alkaline earth metal salts of 5,5'-bitetrazole, and examples of the oxidizer being sulfur, molybdenum disulfide, chromium trichloride and iron trifluoride.
