Definitions

  • This invention relates to an air bag gas generating composition.
  • a gas generating composition is ignited, either electrically or mechanically, in an instant on sensing a car crash to thereby inflate the bag with the gas so generated.
  • the gas generating composition is generally supplied as molded into a pellet or disk form. It is essential that such a gas generating composition insures an appropriate burning velocity. If the burning velocity is too low, the bag cannot be inflated in an instant so that the system fails to achieve its object.
  • the gas generating composition is a powdery composition having the property to get ignited by a shock. Shock ignitability is the sensitivity of a powder to shock ignition and an excessively high shock sensitivity is undesirable from the standpoint of safety because it represents a high risk of explosion in the course of production, e.g. in the mixing stage or in the molding stage. Therefore, shock sensitivity is preferably as low as possible.
  • the combustion temperature of the gas generating composition be not too high. This is because, to absorb the shock of a car crash to the driver or passenger and help him to escape, generally the inflated air bag then releases the internal gas to shrink but if the combustion temperature is too high, the released gas is also hot enough to cause the passenger to sustain a burn, perforate the bag to detract from its function, or burn the bag to induce a car fire.
  • the known air bag gas generating compositions comprise sodium azide as the gas generating base and certain additives such as an oxidizing agent [e.g. metal oxides such as TiO2, MnO2, Fe2O3, CuO, etc., nitrates such as NaNO3, KNO3, Cu(NO3)2, etc., perchlorates such as KClO4, NaClO4, etc.
  • an oxidizing agent e.g. metal oxides such as TiO2, MnO2, Fe2O3, CuO, etc., nitrates such as NaNO3, KNO3, Cu(NO3)2, etc., perchlorates such as KClO4, NaClO4, etc.
  • chlorates such as KClO3, NaClO3, etc.], a reducing metal [Zr, Mg, Al, Ti, etc.], a cooling agent [Na2CO3, K2CO3, CaCO3, FeSO4, etc.], a pH control agent [iron sulfate etc.), a mechanical performance agent [MoS2, KBr, graphite, etc.] and so on.
  • sodium azide-based gas generating compositions are in common use today partly because the generated gas is nitrogen gas for the most part and partly because they have adequate burning velocities and relatively low combustion temperatures.
  • sodium azide has the following disadvantages.
  • a nitrogen-containing compound as the base of a gas generating composition.
  • a reducing metal such as Zr or Mg
  • an oxidizing compound such as potassium perchlorate or potassium chlorate
  • the gas generating base smokeless powder, nitrocellulose, azodicarbonamide, aminoguanidine and thiourea
  • the burning velocity that can be obtained by the above method is insufficient for practical application to the air bag.
  • the mixture of reducing metal and oxidising compound has a very high shock sensitivity, the risk of handling hazards is high. Furthermore, the combustion temperature is also suspected to be too high.
  • Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 118979/75 discloses an air bag gas generating composition
  • a nitrogen-containing compound such as azodicarbonamide, trihydrazinotriazine or the like and an oxidizing agent such as potassium permanganate, manganese dioxide, barium dichromate, barium peroxide or the like.
  • an oxidizing agent such as potassium permanganate, manganese dioxide, barium dichromate, barium peroxide or the like.
  • Another object of this invention is to provide an air bag gas generating composition which is either equivalent to or even higher than the sodium azide-based gas generating composition in burning velocity and gas output.
  • a still further object of this invention is to provide an air bag gas generating composition which is free from the above-mentioned disadvantages (1) through (6) of the azide compound.
  • the inventor of this invention made an extensive exploration to accomplish the above objects with his attention focused on nitrogen-containing compounds which by themselves have very low risks of fire or intoxication hazards due to decomposition or combustion and found that by causing a nitrogen-containing compound to react directly with a defined oxidizing agent, that is a halogen oxo acid salt, taking advantage of the reducing property of the former instead of combusting the nitrogen-containing compound with the heat of a redox reaction, there can be realized not only a shock sensitivity either equivalent to or lower than that of the sodium azide-based gas generating composition but also a burning velocity and a gas output, both of which are either equivalent to or higher than those of said sodium azide-based composition, as well as a practically useful, low combustion temperature.
  • a defined oxidizing agent that is a halogen oxo acid salt
  • This invention is, therefore, directed to an air bag gas generating composition comprising a nitrogen-containing organic compound and a halogen oxo acid salt.
  • a nitrogen-containing compound is used as the gas generation base.
  • the nitrogen-containing compound there is no particular limitation on the nitrogen-containing compound only if it is an organic compound containing at least one nitrogen atom within its molecule.
  • amino-containing compounds, nitramine-containing compounds and nitrosoamine-containing compounds can be mentioned.
  • the amino-containing compounds that can be used are virtually unlimited, thus including azodicarbonamide, urea, aminoguanidine bicarbonate, biuret, dicyandiamide, hydrazides (e.g.

  • nitramine-containing compounds that can be used are also virtually unlimited and include aliphatic and alicyclic compounds containing one or more nitramine groups as substituents, such as dinitropentamethylenetetramine, trimethylenetrinitramine (RDX), tetramethylenetetranitramine (HMX) and so on.
  • the nitroamine-containing organic compounds that can be used are also virtually unlimited and include aliphatic and alicyclic compounds containing one or more nitrosoamine groups as substituents, such as dinitrosopentamethylenetetramine (DPT).
  • nitrogen-containing compounds azodicarbonamide has been used widely as a resin blowing agent, and being of low fire-causing potential and low toxicity and, hence, least likely to be hazardous, this compound is particularly suitable.
  • These nitrogen-containing compounds can be used either alone or in combination.
  • commercially available nitrogen-containing compounds can liberally selected form a broad range. Generally, it can be used as they are. There is no limitation on the form or grain size of the nitrogen-containing compound and a suitable one can be selectively employed.
  • the oxidizing agent to be used in this invention is a halogen oxo acid salt.
  • the halogen oxo acid salt any of the known species can be employed. Preferred are halogenates and perhalogenates and particularly preferred are the corresponding alkali metal salts.
  • the alkali metal halogenates include chlorates and bromates such as potassium chlorate, sodium chlorate, potassium bromate and sodium bromate, among others.
  • the alkali metal perhalogenates include perchlorates and perbromates such as potassium perchlorate, sodium perchlorate, potassium perbromate and sodium perbromate, among others. These halogen oxo acid salts may be used alone or in combination.
  • the amount of the halogen oxo acid salt is generally stoichiometric, that is to say the amount necessary for complete oxidation and combustion of the nitrogen-containing compound based on its oxygen content, but since the burning velocity, combustion temperature and combustion product composition can be freely controlled by varying the ratio of halogen oxo acid salt to nitrogen-containing compound, its amount can be liberally selected from a broad range.

  • Such combustion control catalyst includes, among others, the oxides, chlorides, carbonates and sulfates of Group IV or Group VI elements of the periodic table of the elements, cellulosic compounds and organic polymers.

  • the grain size of the combustion control catalyst is not critical and can be appropriately selected.
  • the antidetonation agent is added for preventing the detonation which may occur when the gas generating composition is involved in a fire in the course of production, handling or transportation or subjected to an extraordinary impact.
