Abstract

The present invention provides a gas generant composition comprising a nitrogen-containing organic compound, an oxidizing agent and an additive, wherein a calorific value per mol of gas generated by the combustion of the gas generant is not more than 125 KJ. Also, the present invention provides a gas generator using the said gas generant composition of the present invention.In the gas generant composition that burns at a suitable combustion speed for the gas generator, a calorific value per mol of gas generated by the combustion of the gas generant is suppressed to a specific value as noted above, whereby reduction in size and weight of the gas generator is achieved.
