When using aerosol cans, concern for safety is a top priority. Whether you are using an aerosol can indoors or outdoors, such as a pipeline, safety should be considered. There are three main hazards when using aerosol cans.
1. susceptibility to bursting
Aerosol cans can remain safe if the can and valve remain intact. However, if the can is punctured, the valve malfunctions, corrodes, or is exposed to excessively high temperatures, the can will depressurize. In severe cases, the aerosol can may explode.
2. Toxicity and harmfulness
Do you know what's in your aerosol can? Some aerosols contain hazardous substances, and workers must familiarize themselves with the SDS of the material. personal protective equipment or additional ventilation may be required. Ask the manufacturer for the SDS and read it carefully; determine if it is dangerous, hazardous, and choose a safe product.
3. Flammability
Most aerosol can products and propellants are flammable, which can cause aerosol cans to become a fire hazard. Use away from open flames and heat sources.
Storage of Aerosol Cans
Aerosol cans should be stored in a dry area and not exposed to excessive temperatures. The pressure of an aerosol can increases with temperature. The internal temperature of the vehicle can rise to a high level when exposed to direct sunlight, therefore, aerosol cans should not be stored in the vehicle for long periods of time.
