AEROSOL CAN Meaning and
Definition
-
An aerosol can is a pressurized container used to store and dispense substances in the form of a fine mist or spray. It consists of a metal canister with a valve and a propelled gas or liquid under high pressure. The canister is typically made of aluminum or steel to withstand the internal pressure.
Aerosol cans are commonly used for various purposes such as household products, personal care items, paints, lubricants, and pesticides. The contents inside the can are stored as a liquid or a mixture of liquid and solid particles. The propellant gas or liquid creates pressure inside the can, allowing the contents to be released when the valve is pressed or triggered.
When the valve is activated, it opens, and the pressure difference between the canister and the atmosphere causes the contents to be forced out in the form of an aerosol spray. The spray is produced through a nozzle or a valve, which disperses the mixture into tiny droplets, creating a fine mist that can be easily dispersed or applied.
Aerosol cans are popular due to their convenience, ease of use, and ability to evenly distribute substances. However, proper handling and disposal are crucial as the contents might be flammable, harmful to the environment, or pose health risks if misused.
