Abstract
A novel gas generant is formed by integrating an additive or compound selected from polymeric compounds, long-chain hydrocarbons, long-chain fluorocarbons, and paraffinic compounds in or about the gas generant. A gas generating composition is formed in a typical manner, and the additive may be either homogeneously mixed within the gas generating composition, or, it may simply be coated over the gas generant.
Claims20
A composition comprising:
- a non-azide fuel selected from nitroaromatic acids and derivatives thereof;
- an oxidizer containing phase-stabilized ammonium nitrate;
- and
- an additive selected from paraffins, polymers, and long-chain hydrocarbons and long-chain fluorocarbons.

A method of forming a gas generant comprising the steps of:
- forming a composition containing a non-azide fuel and phase-stabilized ammonium nitrate;
- and
- at least partially integrating an additive into the composition, wherein said additive is selected from long-chain hydrocarbons, long-chain fluorocarbons, paraffinic compounds, and polymeric compounds.
A composition comprising:
- a non-azide fuel;
- an oxidizer containing phase-stabilized ammonium nitrate;
