Abstract

The invention relates to thermal pre-ignition agents and to their use as thermal fuses, in particular for use in gas generators of motor-vehicle safety systems.

Description

Gegenstand der vorliegenden Erfindung sind Frühzündmittel, die beispielsweise als thermische Sicherungen in Gasgeneratoren für Kraftfahrzeugsicherheitssysteme eingesetzt werden können.The present invention relates to pre-ignition agents which can be used, for example, as thermal fuses in gas generators for motor vehicle safety systems.

Thermische Frühzündmittel sind pyrotechnische Substanzen bzw. Mischungen. Sie haben unter anderem die Aufgabe, die in der Regel thermisch sehr stabilen gaserzeugenden Mischungen des Gasgenerators im Falle eines Fahrzeugbrandes kontrolliert anzuzünden.Thermal pre-ignition agents are pyrotechnic substances or mixtures. They have, inter alia, the task to ignite the usually thermally very stable gas-generating mixtures of the gas generator in the event of a vehicle fire in a controlled manner.

Als thermische Frühzündmittel werden beispielsweise Nitrocellulose, daraus abgeleitete Treibladungspulver oder die in der Patentanmeldung DE 197 30 873 A1 beschriebenen Mischungen auf Basis von Nitrotriazolon und Guanidinnitraf eingesetzt. Diese Mischungen zeigen Entzündungstemperaturen von ca. 160°C und sind im Falle der Nitrocellulose nur unzureichend langzeitstabil.Examples of thermal thermal ignition agents are nitrocellulose, propellant powders derived therefrom or those disclosed in the patent application DE 197 30 873 A1 used mixtures based on nitrotriazolone and Guanidinnitraf. These mixtures show ignition temperatures of about 160 ° C and are insufficiently long-term stability in the case of nitrocellulose.

EP-A-0 665 138 offenbart ein thermisches Frühzundmittel als thermische Sicherung in Gasgeneratoren, das Zucker, ein Chlorat oder Perchlorat (z.B. KClO3, NaClO3 oder KClO4) und ein synthetisches Harz enthält. EP-A-0 665 138 discloses a thermal preignition agent as a thermal fuse in gas generators containing sugar, a chlorate or perchlorate (eg KClO 3 , NaClO 3 or KClO 4 ) and a synthetic resin.

Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung war die Bereitstellung von pyrotechnischen Mischungen mit Entzündungstemperaturen um 200°C und ausreichender Langzeitstabilität, die als thermische Frühzündmittel für Gasgeneratoren in Kraftfahrzeugsicherheitssystemen eingesetzt werden können. Gelöst wurde die der Erfindung zu Grunde liegende Aufgabe durch den Einsatz von 2-[Bis-(2,4,6-trinitrophenyl)] aminoethylnitrat, kurz als Dipikrylaminoethylnitrat (DPN) bezeichnet. Diese Substanz kann in Mischungen mit weiteren Komponenten verwendet werden. DPN kann aus 2,4-Dinitrochlorbenzol und Ethanolamin mit anschließender Nitrierung hergestellt werden (Lit.: R.V. Clark, Ind. Eng. Chem., 25, 1385 (1933 )). Die Strukturformel ist wie folgt:

The object of the present invention was to provide pyrotechnic mixtures with ignition temperatures around 200 ° C. and sufficient long-term stability, which can be used as thermal premature ignition agents for gas generators in motor vehicle safety systems. The problem underlying the invention was solved by the use of 2- [bis (2,4,6-trinitrophenyl)] aminoethyl nitrate, abbreviated to Dipikrylaminoethylnitrat (DPN). This substance can be used in mixtures with other components. DPN can be prepared from 2,4-dinitrochlorobenzene and ethanolamine followed by nitration (Lit .: RV Clark, Ind. Eng. Chem., 25, 1385 (1933 )). The structural formula is as follows:
Figure imgb0001

Der Verpuffungspunkt von reinem DPN liegt bei ca. 200°C. Überraschenderweise wurde gefunden, dass sich bei Mischungen von DPN mit ausgewählten Komponenten als Zusatzstoffe der Verpuffungspunkt im Bereich von 178°C bis 208°C steuern lässt und die Verpuffungstemperaturen der Mischungen tiefer liegen können als die der Einzelkomponenten. Für Frühzündmittel sind Verpuffungstemperaturen unter 200°C besonders interessant. Die erfindungsgemäßen Mischungen erfüllen diese Forderung bei ausgezeichneter Langzeitstabilität.The deflagration point of pure DPN is approx. 200 ° C. Surprisingly, it has been found that in the case of mixtures of DPN with selected components as additives, the deflagration point can be controlled in the range from 178.degree. C. to 208.degree. C. and the deflagration temperatures of the mixtures can be lower than those of the individual components. For Frühzündmittel deflagration temperatures below 200 ° C are particularly interesting.
