The illustration below depicts the inner workings of a typical aerosol dispenser.

Aerosol Dispenser

A pressurised gas in the upper part of the can exerts pressure on the mixture below. When depressed, the plunger cap opens an inlet valve that allows the mixture to rush through the plastic tube and escape from the can through a nozzle. Aerosol dispensers commonly contain products such as cosmetics, paint, and food.

Airosol® Dispenser

On the other hand, the Airosol® consists of an ordinary spray with a pouch in which the product is contained. The pouch is made of four different layers, which are pet, nylon, aluminium and pp.

In contrast to aerosols filled with ordinary propellants, an Airosols® can be used up side down without problems or loss of pressure.

A very high spray quality is achieved by using a special nozzle.

Advantages of the Airosols® system include:

• Total reduction of hazardous propellants - which means that we are all helping the environment!
• No pumping or putting under pressure - normal spray-action like a conventional aerosol is all that is required.
• High spray quality in all positions (even upside-down!).
• No contact between the product and the compressed air.
• At decreasing pressure, you still have constant spraying.
• Fewer problems with storage of spray cans (no highly flammable propellant).
• Less problems with disposal of spray cans (no highly flammable propellant).
