Abstract

A gas generant composition contains no hydrogen, using as the major fuel component cupric and/or zinc bitetrazole and as a major oxidizer component CuO and/or Fe.sub.2 O.sub.3. A minor fuel component may be a salt of dicyanamide which reduces processing sensitivity of the composition. A minor oxidizer component may be a nitrate, chlorate, or perchlorate salt.
