Definitions

  • the present invention relates to pyrotechnic compounds gas generators and a method for obtaining them.
  • Said pyrotechnic compounds present:
  • the intrinsic inflation power of a formulation is given by the product of the gaseous molar yield of said formulation (in mol / kg) by the temperature T (in K) .
  • T in K
  • the inflation surface flow rate is estimated by the product pxnx T x Vc, where p is the density of the material (in g / cm 3 ), n the molar gas yield of the combustion (in mole / g), T the combustion temperature (in K) and Vc the combustion rate in cm / s
  • the inflation surface flow rate parameter is expressed in mol.K / cm 2 .s
  • the present invention is in the technical field of pyrotechnic generation of gas. It is particularly applicable in vehicle occupant protection systems, protection by means of damping cushions (so-called "airbags”), which are inflated by the combustion gases of pyrotechnic compounds.
  • airbags damping cushions
  • the low temperature makes it possible to limit the thickness of the bag
  • the gaseous effluents are generally of good quality vis-à-vis the acceptable toxicity standards in force in the field (USCAR).
  • compositions on the other hand, have drawbacks that can penalize certain applications:
  • the temperature being relatively low and the gas yield low, the inflation power is limited
  • filters are necessary to reduce the emission of particles. These filters further reduce the inflation power due to the thermal losses they induce. The filters further induce an increase in the volume and cost of the generator;
  • the "cold" compositions have, in almost all cases, low combustion rates. This cumulative point at low inflation power induces low inflation surface flow rates. These low inflation surface flow rates are compensated for by the use of thin pellets and small diameters which induce a strong initial surface of pyrotechnic product and a low loading density.
  • the inflation power of a composition being associated with the gaseous molar yield and temperature, the compositions having a high inflation power have a high combustion temperature and a low level of particles produced during combustion.
  • the low level of particles is necessary to have the maximum amount of gas emitted and so as to avoid aggression on the bags.
  • Tests in airbag modules have indeed shown that the damage of the bags by the combustion products is exacerbated by the presence of particles in case of use of "hot" compositions.
  • a composition with a high inflating power, a high inflating surface flow rate and no particles has many advantages with respect to the operation and miniaturization of airbag system gas generators. This miniaturization is required for reasons of cost, weight and integration inside the vehicles.
  • the formulations have a high gaseous yield, a relatively high combustion temperature and a low particle level
  • tests conducted in airbag modules with these compounds have shown that the operation can be good in relatively thin uncoated bag ( ⁇ 470
  • the aggression on the bag is acceptable despite the high temperature due to the low level of particles produced and because of the operation induced by the monolithic block which limits aggression on the bag at the beginning of deployment.
  • they are no longer used on new equipment because they do not have sufficient resistance (resistance) to aging at high temperature, such as as required by the builders automobiles.
  • these compounds have an oxygen balance shifted to negative values (oxygen deficiency) which induces a carbon monoxide level well above the maximum standards in force for the application in question.
  • the oxygen balance is the mass percentage of oxygen released (positive value) or absorbed (negative value) during the combustion reaction of a constituent.
  • a CH 2 group the basic element of aliphatic polymers, has an oxygen balance of 343%. Indeed, it takes three oxygen atoms whose molar mass is 48 g to balance the combustion of 14 g / mole of CH 2 .
  • compositions based on silicone binder were then proposed.
  • Compositions based on binder "RTV" room temperature vulcanizable
  • potassium perchlorate have been described in patent applications FR 2 190 776 and FR 2 213 254.
  • Patent application FR 2 728 562 describes a version improved of these products, manufacturable by a process of kneading and continuous extrusion.
  • the silicone binder is combined with a mixture of ammonium perchlorate and sodium nitrate; said sodium nitrate serving as a chlorine sensor.
  • the compositions according to these documents exhibit an acceptable gas yield, a high combustion temperature and a high rate of combustion. The inflating surface flow rate is therefore relatively high.
  • compositions based on nitrocellulose and nitroglycerine compared to compositions based on nitrocellulose and nitroglycerine, these compositions have the advantage of being very stable in temperature and can be adjusted to "oxygen balance" (balance oxygen) to meet the standards of toxicity of gaseous effluents.
  • these compositions have the disadvantage of emitting a high level of particles (approximately 37% by weight of the total mass emitted during combustion), in particular sodium chloride and silica, which requires the use of a bag having a high thickness and a protective coating of the inner face of said bag.
  • the patent application EP 1 216 977 describes a solvent-free extrudable composition essentially comprising a two-component oxygenated hydrocarbon binder (an elastomer (a rubber) and a plasticizer), a nitrogen-containing organic compound (nitrogen generator) and oxidizing charges.
  • Said oxidizing charges consist of ammonium perchlorate and a chlorine sensor.
  • Said chlorine sensor as its name indicates, is present to capture the chlorine gas emitted during the combustion of ammonium perchlorate. It intervenes, for this purpose, high content (about 15 to 20% by weight in the composition). It consists advantageously of sodium nitrate and sodium chloride (solid) is then formed.
  • This composition has an inflation power and a surface flow of the same order of magnitude as the silicone bases, due to a slightly lower combustion rate and a lower particle rate.
  • the gas yield, and therefore the inflation power is limited by the presence of the chlorine sensor (which thus induces the formation of a solid salt).
  • the overall content of solid combustion residues of these compositions is about 14%.
  • the burning rates of these compositions from about 20 to 40 mm / s at a combustion pressure of 20 MPa, remain insufficient for the intended application.
  • the high pressure exponent of these compositions from about 0.63 over the pressure range 15 MPa to 35 MPa, makes it difficult to adjust the ballistic operation of said gas generator compositions.
  • the combustion of these compositions at low pressure (P ⁇ 10 MPa) is also not satisfactory and can lead to extinctions.
  • these compositions do not exhibit, with reference to the severe tests mentioned above, long-term aging behavior at a satisfactory high temperature.

  • These compositions may contain a nitrogenous organic compound, such as guanidine nitrate (NG).
  • NG guanidine nitrate
  • the bag can conveniently be coated with chlorine sensors.
  • the absence of the oxidizing charge represented by the chlorine sensor is, within these compositions, compensated by the presence, in the composition of the binder, of a highly oxygenated hydrocarbon plasticizer having an oxygen balance greater than or equal to 230%.
  • These compositions have a high swelling power, a low particle level, a high rate of combustion, from about 40 to 50 mm / s at 20 MPa, a low pressure exponent, about 0.5 over the pressure range 15 to 15 MPa. 35 MPa and good operation at low pressure.
  • compositions require the use of highly oxygenated hydrocarbon plasticizers, of the diester type, more particularly of diester type plasticizers with ether functions.
  • plasticizers are manufactured by trans-esterification from precursor compounds, which consist for the most part of a mixture of compounds of various molecular masses, so that the plasticizer itself consists of a mixture of compounds of various molecular masses in which are present compounds of more or less low molecular weight.
  • the use of such plasticisers then require, for the applications under consideration, a purification step in order to eliminate these compounds of low molecular weight (detrimental to the thermal stability of the final product).
  • compositions according to said application WO 2008/145935 do not show, either, with reference to the severe tests mentioned above, a good long-term aging behavior at high temperature.
