Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0763511A2] In an inflator module for an automotive airbag which contains a gas generant, particularly a non-azide gas generant, an igniter composition is provided for igniting the generant such that the generant produces lower volumes of toxic gaseous combustion products. The igniter composition has a fuel component which is 5 wt% to 100% Mg, TiH2, Al or Ti, 0 to 95 wt% carbohydrate fuel having an oxygen content of 35 to 65 wt%; and an oxidizer component which is potassium or sodium chlorate or potassium or sodium perchlorate. The igniter composition has an oxygen-to-fuel ratio of at least 1 and preferably at least 1.05.
