Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0467731A1] Pyrotechnic compositions generating nontoxic gases intended to inflate, in the event of accident, protective cushions for the occupants of a motor vehicle. <??>The compositions according to the invention contain an azide, an inorganic oxidising agent and, characteristically, between 5% and 40% by weight of an inorganic binder which is the product of an inorganic polycondensation reaction of mixtures based on alkali metal silicoaluminates. The binder is preferably the product of polymerisation of a silicoaluminate of formula (Si2O5.Al2O2) and of silica SiO2 in the presence of aqueous sodium hydroxide and/or potassium hydroxide. <??>After mixing and shaping the various constituents of the composition, the polymerisation of the said binder is ensured in a first stage by heating in a closed leakproof enclosure and, in a second stage, drying of the composition is ensured. <??>The compositions with an inorganic binder according to the invention exhibit mechanical strength and moisture resistance which are higher than those exhibited by equivalent compositions without a binder.
