Aerosols contain CFC's. They are used as spray cans and deplete ozone.
Yes, CFC's are used in sprays. They are used in aerosols too.
spray oil
Hair spray is a pretty good substitute.
They are used in fridges and spray cans and can cause pollution.
Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) were once used as propellants in aerosol cans, but since the Montreal Protocol was agreed to in 1989, they have been replaced in nearly every country. This is because of the negative effects CFCs have on Earth's ozone layer. Aerosols are now propelled by mixtures of volatile hydrocarbons, typically propane, n-butane and isobutane. Food sprays use nitrous oxide and carbon dioxide.
The value chain of aerosol cans is all about supply and demand. Aerosol cans are necessary for most jobs that require spray paint, or cleaning supplies. The value will depend on what product is being used in the cans.
CFCs were the compressed gas that was used as "spring" to push the can contents out of the container. CFCs have been replaced with HCFCs as a consequence of the Montreal Protocol.
PAM cooking spray was the original cooking spray on the market. It is made of oils to be used as a substitute when cooking in place of butters or shortenings. Other brands of cooking sprays followed the lead of PAM.
CFC's are used now also. they are used as coolants.
CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons), that used to be used in aerosol cans and refrigerators is now phased out after the Montreal Protocol, to which all countries agreed. That is to say that the manufacture and future use of CFCs has to be phased out, the agreement, now ratified by all member states of the UN, does not include those CFCs in present use by domestic and commercial appliances. This would be particularly difficult, especially in third world countries. Another assumption is that all signatories will adhere to the treaty. An unlikely prospect at best.
Since the 1980's and the Montreal Protocol nothing has used CFC except for medical inhalers and a few other specialized safety and medical systems. Body sprays, hair sprays, spray paints and much do not fall into this limited category.
