AUTOIGNITION COMPOSITION FOR AN AIRBAG INFLATOR

摘要

An autoigniting composition (33) contains lead thiocyanate Pb(SCN)2 as the fuel, a chlorate as the oxidizer and optionally, a binder and/or a flow agent/thickener is employed in an inflator (20) used to inflate a vehicle occupant restraint such as an airbag. The autoignition composition undergoes rapid autoignition at temperatures from approximately 190 to 220 DEG C and consequently ignites a gas generating composition (28) in the inflator.
