1. A gas generator comprising:
- a gas generating composition; and
an auto-igniting pad comprising;
a fuel;
an oxidizer; and
an elastomeric polymer in an amount from about 30-70 weight percent relative to the total weight of the auto-igniting pad.

Abstract
A gas generator contains an anti-vibration, auto-igniting pad. The pad is formed from a mixture of a known auto-igniting composition mixed with an elastomeric polymer, and then cured, thereby forming a polymer—auto-igniting composition matrix. The pad is placed in thermodynamic communication with a housing on the gas generator, thereby enhancing the safety of the gas generator while yet providing a multi-functional pad. The pad is formulated to reduce vibrations when biased against an associated gas generant, while augmenting the amount of gas produced upon gas generator activation, while yet providing an auto-igniting material that is ignited during a high heat event.
