Abstract

This paper deals with a new Composite Propellant specially developed for use in Micro Gas Generators for Automotive Safety Equipments like seat belt refractors or pretensioners. This new propellant has a unique continuous production process and fulfils all automotive specifications in terms of toxicity and ageing characteristics. This "Green" Composite Propellant will become a first choice to replace Nitrocellulose based propellant used today. Technology of Micro Gas Generator using Composite propellant called ® MGC ¯ is based on knowledge obtained during years of first generation Nitrocellulose propellant production, of which AUTOLIV INFLATORS-NCS is the worldwide leader with more than 35 million parts produced each year.
