Abstract
A gas generant composition especially adapted for inflating automotive airbags in the event of a vehicle collision to protect the occupants of the vehicle from injury. The composition consists essentially of 65-74% alkali metal azide; 10-28% ferric oxide; 6-16% sodium nitrate; 0.1-2% fumed silica; and 0-2% molybdenum disulfide. The composition burns at from about 1.2 to about 1.7 inches per second (about 3.0 to about 4.3 cm/sec).
