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

摘要

A gas-generating agent utilizing hydrogen peroxide and an airbag gas generator using the same are provided. The gas-generating agent can at once solve the problems involved in sodium azide formulations used as an airbag gas-generating agent, and the airbag gas generator has a higher reliability and is cost-effective. The gas-generating agent comprises a main agent comprising an aqueous solution having a hydrogen peroxide content of not more than 64.5 % by weight and a boiling point of 127 °C or below, and a catalyst for decomposing hydrogen peroxide. The gas generator comprises a vessel for a main agent comprising an aqueous solution having a hydrogen peroxide content of not more than 64.5 % by weight and a boiling point of 127 °C or below, a vessel for a decomposition catalyst, and an igniter installed within the vessel.
