Abstract
A gas-generating composition is adapted for use in safety devices for vehicles. The composition essentially of 20 to 25% by weight of an organic fuel, 30 to 60% by weight ammonium perchlorate, 5 to 30% by weight of a chloride scavenger and conventional processing aids in a proportion of 0 to 10% by weight. An iron compound is used as said chloride scavenger, which is converted into gaseous iron(III)-chloride upon reaction of the composition.
