BAYOXIDE® E AB 21

Bayoxide® E AB 21 is a technical iron oxide. It is used in conventional gas-generation airbag systems where it serves as an oxidizing agent and for scorification of the sodium formed in the gas-generating reaction. Thereby, a controlled unfolding of the airbag can be ensured in the event of an accident. The requirements placed on the iron oxide used in this critical safety application are high. Bayoxide® E AB 21, the product LANXESS developed particularly for this application, has a low heavy metal content, neutral to slightly alkaline pH and excellent free flowing properties.
