Provided is a gas generating agent with a low combustion temperature and good ignition ability. The gas generating agent includes: (a) a fuel; (b) an oxidizing agent including a basic metal nitrate; (c) a basic metal carbonate; and (d) a binder (not including a component selected from starch, etherified starch, methyl cellulose, hydroxyethyl methyl cellulose, hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose, hydroxyethyl cellulose, guar gum, etherified guar gum, tamarind gum, poly(vinyl alcohol), polyvinyl ether, polyacrylamide, polyethylene oxide, and polyvinyl pyrrolidone). The fuel of the component (a) includes melamine cyanurate (MC) and nitroguanidine (NQ), with MC/NQ (ratio of contents) of being within a range of 0.20 to 1.50.

A liquid electrically initiated and controlled composition comprising an oxidizer, soluble fuel additive(s), and other optional additives to enhance the chemical or ballistic properties, or a combination thereof is disclosed. The liquid composition further comprises stabilizers to enhance thermal stability, sequestrants to minimize deleterious effects of transition metal contaminants, and combustion enhancers maximizing efficiency. Buffers and heavy metal sequestering or complexing agents may be used in combination to achieve the highest degree of thermal stability. Additional ionic co-oxidizers may be added to the liquid composition to stabilize the liquid oxidizer and further depress freezing point. The liquid phase of matter allows flow via pipes or tubes from tanks, reservoirs, or other containers, through metering valves, followed by ignition or combustion modulation when stimulated by electrodes, statically or dynamically.

Provided are a gas generant composition, a preparation method, and a gas generator containing the composition. The gas generant composition includes components having the following contents, in percent by mass: 40% to 60% of guanidine nitrate, 25% to 50% of basic copper nitrate, 0% to 7% of ammonium perchlorate, 1% to 10% of a slag-forming agent, and 0.05% to 5% of a release agent/lubricant, the slag-forming agent is used as a form-retaining agent, so that the tablets can retain their form before combustion very well after combustion, thereby completely avoiding burning of an inflatable bag due to melting and splashing of the combusted tablets. Moreover, ammonium perchlorate is used as auxiliary oxidizers, thereby reducing the amount of basic cupric nitrate used and reducing molten copper residues. The gas generant composition is mainly used in a gas generator for vehicle airbag.
