aerosol cans
Propellant-driven spray containers
Aerosol cans are pressurized metal containers that spray their contents as a fine mist or foam.
A propellant gas forces the product—paint, deodorant, cooking oil, insecticide—through a valve and nozzle when the button is pressed.
Shake the aerosol can before spraying.
Environmental concerns led to banning chlorofluorocarbon propellants in the late twentieth century.
