Guanidine nitrate (CAS No. 506-93-4) should be used in automotive airbags
Jul 02, 2024| Guanidine nitrate (CAS No. 506-93-4) should be used in automotive airbags
The application of guanidine nitrate (CAS No. 506-93-4) in automotive airbags is particularly significant. Automobile airbag is an important protective device, when the vehicle crashes, the airbag quickly inflates to provide protection for the occupants. The inflator of the airbag needs to ignite within 50 to 60 milliseconds of the accident and produce a large amount of non-toxic gas, while guaranteeing a 10 to 15 year life cycle, and has waterproof, cold and high temperature resistance characteristics.
Sodium azide is often used as the traditional gas generator, but the gas produced by it is harmful to human body and difficult to be filtered. With the development of technology, guanidine nitrate as a substitute for non-azide gradually received attention. Ultrafine guanidine nitrate is widely used as an inflator for a new generation of automotive airbags due to its high temperature decomposition and explosion characteristics. The particle size requirements of ultrafine guanidine nitrate are: D50 = 4.5-6.5μm, D98≤14μm, and the particle size is normally distributed.
In practical applications, different proportions can ensure that the airbag can be quickly and effectively inflated in the collision to protect the safety of the occupants. The use of guanidine nitrate not only improves the performance of the air bag, but also reduces the harm to the environment and the human body, and promotes the progress of automotive airbag technology. Through continuous technical improvement and raw material optimization, the application effect of guanidine nitrate in automotive airbags has been significantly improved, providing a reliable guarantee for traffic safety.
