Abstract

A method of forming a gas generating composition containing a salt of dinitrosalicylic acid and ammonium nitrate or phase stabilized ammonium nitrate. The method involves the co-precipitation of a salt of 3,5-dinitrosalicylic acid with phase stabilized ammonium nitrate. A gas generating composition 12 is also presented along with a gas generator 10 containing the gas generating composition 12. The gas generator10 may be contained within a gas generating system 200 such as an airbag inflator 10 or seat belt assembly 150, or more broadly within a vehicle occupant protection system 180.
