How An Aluminum Aerosol Can Work?
An aluminum aerosol can is like a small, pressurized container. Inside the can, there’s a product like deodorant or spray paint, and it’s mixed with gas or liquid.
When you press the button on top, it opens a valve.
The pressure inside the can pushes the product out through the valve, creating a fine spray or mist you can use.
It’s like magic in a can, making things easy to spray with just a push!
Non-Propellant Aerosol Can
Non-Aerosol Can (Spray Pump Can)
A non-propellant aerosol can, often called a spray pump can, doesn’t rely on gas or pressure to work.
Unlike traditional aerosol cans with buttons, these cans have a pump on top.
When you press the pump, it sprays the product without needing gas.
It’s an eco-friendly and straightforward way to spray things, similar to use a regular spray bottle.
2. Bag On Valve (BoV)
A Bag On Valve (BoV) system is a type of non-propellant aerosol can design.
In this system, the product is placed in a bag, and the bag is then placed inside the can.
The space between the can and the bag is filled with air or nitrogen, creating pressure. When the valve is pressed, the pressure forces the product out through the valve, allowing it to be sprayed.
BoV systems are often used for products like creams, lotions, and medical sprays, providing a reliable and hygienic way to dispense various substances.
