Abstract:
A method of placing an ignition composition onto a gas generant material having a selected form, said method comprising the steps of:combining the ignition composition with a solvent to form an ignition material combination, the solvent effective to partially solubilize at least one component of the ignition composition and, upon application to the gas generant material, to partially solubilize at least one component of the gas generant material andapplying the ignition material combination onto the gas generant material form whereby at least one component of the gas generant material is partially solubilized by the solvent of the ignition material combination,wherein the gas generant material includes a fuel component and an oxidizer component, with the fuel component including at least one fuel selected from the group consisting of nitrogen-containing organic fuels and a tetrazole complex of a transition metal selected from the group consisting of copper, cobalt and zinc and the oxidizer component including at least one oxidizer material selected from the group consisting of at least one metal ammine nitrate, basic copper nitrate and ammonium nitrate.
