Abstract
A gas generant composition contains as a fuel a mixture of a major portion of a triazole or tetrazole and a minor portion of a water soluble fuel; and an oxidizer component, at least 20 wt % of said oxidizer component being a transition metal oxide, such as CuO.
Claims20
A gas generant composition comprising between about 20 and about 40 wt % of fuel, said fuel comprising a tetrazole and/or triazole compound at between about 50 and about 85 wt % of said fuel and a water-soluble fuel at between about 15 and about 50 wt % of said fuel;
- between about 20 and about 80 wt % of oxidizer, at least about 20 wt % and up to 100% of said oxidizer being a transition metal oxide or mixture of transition metal oxides, the balance of said oxidizer being an alkali and/or alkaline earth metal nitrate, chlorate, perchlorate or mixture thereof;
- and, any balance comprising additional gas generant-compatible components.
A gas generant composition comprising between about 20 and about 40 wt % of fuel, said fuel comprising a tetrazole and/or triazole compound selected from the group consisting of 5-amino tetrazole, tetrazole, bitetrazole, 1,2,4-triazole-5-one, and 3-nitro 1,2,4-triazole-5-one, said tetrazole and/or triazole compound comprising between about 50 and about 85 wt % of said fuel;
- and a water-soluble fuel at between about 15 and about 50 wt % of said fuel;
- between about 20 and about 80 wt % of oxidizer, at least about 20 wt % and up to 100% of said oxidizer being a transition metal oxide or mixture of transition metal oxides, the balance of said oxidizer being an alkali and/or alkaline earth metal nitrate, chlorate, perchlorate or mixture thereof;
- and, any balance comprising additional gas generant-compatible components.
A gas generant composition comprising between about 20 and about 40 wt % of fuel, said fuel comprising 5-amino tetrazole at between about 50 and about 85 wt % of said fuel and a water-soluble fuel at between about 15 and about 50 wt % of said fuel;
- between about 20 and about 80 wt % of oxidizer, at least about 20 wt % and up to 100% of said oxidizer being a transition metal oxide or mixture of transition metal oxides, the balance of said oxidizer being an alkali and/or alkaline earth metal nitrate, chlorate, perchlorate or mixture thereof;
- and, any balance comprising additional gas generant-compatible components.
