Abstract
Chemical coolant formulations for treating the hot gas formed by an airbag inflator and corresponding methods of inflating an airbag cushion are provided. The chemical coolant formulations include a first ingredient which, when contacted by the hot gas, endothermically decomposes to form a cooling gas and a solid slag component and a second ingredient which, when contacted by the hot gas, forms a liquid slag component. The solid and liquid slag components cooperate to form a unified slag mass.
