The aerosol design of a refillable spray can dubbed the “bug bomb”, was patented in 1943, and is the ancestor of many popular commercial spray products. Pressurized by liquefied gas, which gave it propellant qualities, the small, portable can enabled soldiers to defend against malaria-carrying bugs by spraying inside tents in the Pacific during World War II.  In 1948, three companies were granted licenses by the United States government to manufacture aerosols.
   
 

Aerosol Facts

Aerosol Technology in household products are spill-proof, stay fresh, reduces waste, and save money.

   
  Since 1978, no aerosols made or sold in the U.S. have contained CFCs except for a tiny fraction (less than 2%) specifically approved by the government for essential medical and other unique uses, such as inhalers for asthma sufferers.

 

We are recyclable…

Aluminum and Steel cans have no memory.  They can be used and recycled over and over into new items. 

 


The primary propellants used in today's aerosols are propane and butane, hydrocarbons that do not contribute significantly to global warming. The carbon dioxide used in some aerosols is taken from the atmosphere, and therefore presents a net zero global warming impact.
