摘要

A nitrogen-generating composition useful for inflating air bags as protection for occupants of motor vehicles is disclosed which is composed of an alkali and alkaline earth metal azide, an oxidizing agent which is an alkali or alkaline earth metal salt and an nitride, and optionally silicon dioxide. The nitride or combination of nitride and silicon dioxide are present in an amount effective to bind all of the alkali and alkaline earth metal as slag.
