Determination and Analysis on Flammability Grade of Two Kinds of Household Spray Aerosols Commonly Used in China

Abstract:

Most common household spray aerosols, such as insecticide aerosols and air freshener aerosols, are often regarded as same kind of products by many users. Flammable grades of the two kinds of spray aerosols most available in China were researched based on the tests of UN Recommendations of the Transport of Dangerous Goods - Model Regulations. According to the tests, though the two aerosols are both labeled with “Flammable” marks, insecticide aerosols sold in China, mostly can be classified as “Extremely Flammable” grade, and most air freshener aerosols are “Not Flammable”. Such research is benefit to the good manage of transportation, storage and usage for these two kinds of aerosol products.
