A new inflator technology has been developed in order to better fulfil major customer specifications like mass, packaging and performance. A complete family of inflators has been developed and produced during the last 6 years using a composite propellant. The standard Autoliv Flexible Inflator and Autoliv Flexible Hybrid Inflator are pin style inflators using lead free and glass-to-metal initiators. They belong to a brand new family of airbag module inflators. The flexible and long linear inflator structure is a high technology novelty. Main advantages are: - to enhance the inflator-to-module physical integration, - to produce and distribute gases at the desired location inside the module, - to distribute inflator mass in the module. The new inflator family is able to be applied in any type of car safety restraint system.
