Abstract

See full text

A gas generant composition for an automotive inflatable restraint system includes one or more: fuels, such as guanidine nitrate; oxidizers, such as basic copper nitrate; and an alkaline earth zirconium oxide. The gas generant composition is substantially free of potassium perchlorate. The alkaline earth zirconium oxide may be barium zirconate (BaZrO3), calcium zirconate (CaZrO3), and/or strontium zirconate (SrZrO3). The alkaline earth zirconium oxide may be present at ≥about 0.1% by mass to ≤about 6% by mass of the gas generant composition. Such gas generants may be cool burning (e.g., a maximum flame temperature at combustion (Tc) of ≤about 1700K (1,427° C.)), have a linear burn rate of ≥about 20 mm per second at a pressure of about 21 MPa and a linear burn rate pressure exponent (n) of ≤about 0.35. Method of making such gas generants are also provided.
