- drying directly above 105 ° C or more and below 120 ° C directly affects the shape, it may warp or bend. Is preferably dried in a low temperature range and then dried in a high temperature range. In the case of the gas generating agent 10 molded in a state where both ends are crushed, if the crushed portion is thinner than the wall thickness, the crushed portion burns out first and the both ends are opened. It burns.
- the pressure-hour curve becomes an S-shape, which is suitable as a gas generating agent used for a gas generator for an air bag.
- the gas generator has a high packing density because it has a higher compressive strength as described above and has both ends crushed and rounded. Therefore, the size and weight of the gas generator can be reduced.
- Vehicle occupant restraint device such as an air bag using the gas generating agent of the present embodiment
- Gas generators for use show good gas generating performance.
- the mixture was extruded at an extrusion pressure of 8 MPa using an extruder equipped with a die having an inner diameter of 2 mm and a pin for an inner hole having an outer diameter of 0.8 mm at the outlet.
- the extruded rod-shaped molded body was sent out between molding gears while being pulled by a take-off belt, and recesses were formed at intervals of 4.4 mm by the convex teeth of the molding gears, and cut in such a way as to break at the depressions Thereafter, the resultant was dried at 55 ° C. for 8 hours, and then dried at 110 for 8 hours to obtain a gas generating agent.
- the composition mixed with the composition of 0, ethanol 3 wt% and, by adding water 1 3 wt 0/0 mixture was kneaded Into a kneaded mass, extruded at an extrusion pressure of 1 OMPa using an extruder equipped with a die with an inner diameter of 3 mm and a pin for an inner hole with an outer diameter of 1.0 mm at the outlet to take out an extruded rod-shaped molded body While pulling it up with a rivet, it is sent out between the molding gears, and the concave teeth are formed at 4.4 mm intervals by the convex teeth of the molding gear, dried at 55 mm for 8 hours, and then dried at 110 with 8 After drying for an hour and cutting it by breaking it at the crushed dent, it was classified to obtain a gas generating agent.
- Example 2 After the extruded rod-shaped molded body was molded in the same manner as in Example 1, it was taken up with a take-off belt, air-dried, crushed no longer, cut, dried at 55 ° C for 8 hours, and then dried. Drying was performed at 0 ° C for 8 hours to obtain a gas generating agent.
- Figures 7 and 6 show the characteristics of the gas generating agents of Examples 1 and 2 and Comparative Examples 1 and 2 and the results of the tank combustion test.
- the pressure-one-hour curve has an S-shape.
- the gas generating agent molded in a state in which both ends of Examples 1 and 2 according to the present invention are crushed, The time between the start of the re-start and the time when the tank reaches the maximum pressure required a longer time than the corresponding gas generating agents of Comparative Examples 1 and 2 respectively.
- the gas generating agents of Examples 1 and 2 according to this embodiment burn more slowly than the corresponding gas generating agents of Comparative Examples 1 and 2, and the airbag It was found that it was a gas generating agent that could alleviate the impact of rapid expansion in the early stage of the development.
