AIRBAG GAS-GENERATING AGENT AND AIRBAG GAS GENERATOR USING THE SAME

摘要

The present invention relates to a gas-generating agent utilizing hydrogen peroxide and an airbag gas generator using the same. The invention aims to completely solve the disadvantages of sodium azide formulations used as an airbag gas-generating agent and to provide the airbag gas generator which has a higher reliability and is cost-effective. Therefore, the gas-generating agent of this invention comprises a main agent comprising an aqueous solution having a hydrogen peroxide content of not more than 64.5 wt% and a boiling point of 127 °C or below, and a catalyst for decomposing hydrogen peroxide. And, the gas generator of this invention comprises a main agent vessel containing a main agent comprising an aqueous solution having a hydrogen peroxide content of not more than 64.5 wt% and a boiling point of 127 °C or below, a decomposition catalyst vessel containing a catalyst for decomposing hydrogen peroxide, and an igniter installed within the decomposition catalyst vessel.
