METHOD OF REDUCING THE FLAMMABILITY HAZARD OF HYDROCARBON AEROSOLS

摘要

The danger of fire from leaking aerosol containers is reduced by reducing the charge potential on leaking containers. This is achieved by a filling method in which an effective amount, for example 0.1 to 5% by weight of a charge reducing agent and a non-aqueous product intermediate are mixed, the mixture is filled into the container and the container is then pressurised with a flammable propellant.
