An aerosol can is pressure vessel, that is the contents are at a higher pressure than the atmosphere. As such it is deigned to contain pressures up to a certain point. As it is heated the pressure increases because of the ratio of P=VT until the mechanical strength of the can is exceeded. It then ruptures (not explodes) allowing the contained material to expand. If the contents are a flammable liquid they may become a BLEVE or fireball of deflagrating material. Again this is not an explosion.
because the can is sealed and as the inside heats up it expands and eventually causes the can to explode and the contents are usually inflamable
no but my bottom does
High Temperature? Because the contents of the aerosol can are pressurized and excessive heat will cause the can to explode, potentially causing bodily harm and other damage.
It would be quite spectacular I think. The vacuum would cause the can to explode.
it's the aerosol.
If they still have propellant they will explode when incinerated.
The container will explode when heated.
yes because of the pressure
The conttens of an aerosole can are under the pressure of gas. That is how the can works. If you put it in a hot area, the gases with expand. This could cause the can to explode.
Many aerosol cans use a propellant under pressure to disperse the contents of the can. These propellants are ofter flammable. If incinerated with some of this flammable propellant still in the can they would explode.
No, heating glassware that is partially wet can cause danger as it would crack and explode.
Yes it can. It can also explode by painting a live electric outlet or two contact points where the aerosol becomes the connector and ignites. This can cause severe burns, blindness and further harm. Use caution and read label instructions.
According to the MSDS, prolonged exposure can result in asphyxiation and respiratory irritation.
