Editing Hydrazine (section)

===Gas producers and propellants===
The largest use of hydrazine is as a precursor to [[blowing agent]]s. Specific compounds include [[azodicarbonamide]] and [[azobisisobutyronitrile]], which produce {{nowrap|100–200 mL}} of gas per gram of precursor. In a related application, [[sodium azide]], the gas-forming agent in [[Airbag|airbags]], is produced from hydrazine by reaction with [[sodium nitrite]].<ref name=Ullmann/>

Hydrazine is also used as a long-term [[storable propellant]] on board [[outer space|space]] vehicles, such as the [[Dawn (spacecraft)#Propulsion system|''Dawn'']] mission to Ceres and Vesta, and to both reduce the concentration of dissolved oxygen in and control pH of water used in large industrial boilers. The [[General Dynamics F-16 Fighting Falcon|F-16]] fighter jet,<ref>https://schultzairshows.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/usaf-f-16-emergency-extraction-card.pdf</ref> [[Space Shuttle]], and [[Lockheed U-2|U-2]] spy plane use hydrazine to fuel their Emergency Start System in the event of an engine stall.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://oai.dtic.mil/oai/oai?verb=getRecord&metadataPrefix=html&identifier=ADA065595 |title=Exhaust Gas Composition of the F-16 Emergency Power Unit |last1=Suggs |first1=HJ|last2=Luskus|first2=LJ|date=1979|publisher=[[United States Air Force|USAF]]|type=technical report |id=SAM-TR-79-2|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160304084802/http://oai.dtic.mil/oai/oai?verb=getRecord&metadataPrefix=html&identifier=ADA065595 |archive-date=4 March 2016|access-date=23 Jan 2019 |last3=Kilian|first3=HJ|last4=Mokry|first4=JW}}</ref>
