It depends on the mixture and the propellant in the can. Old style cans with CFCs and modern nitrogen pressurized cans have nonflammable propellants. Cans which have water based contents have nonflammable contents. Cans containing propane or similar propellants and or hydrocarbon contents would of course be flammable.
The biggest problem is not however their flammability.
In a fire situation the can and its contents over pressure as the can heats up until the can ruptures (not explode). The contents vaporize instantly due to the sudden drop in pressure. If the contents and or propellant are flammable this mass of vaporized flammable gas detonates or deflagrates in a process known as a BLEVE (Boiling Liquid Expanding Vapour Explosion) which either sends a ball of burning gas through the area and or sends shreds of ruptured can through the area (both cases are unpleasant)
If the contents and propellant are not flammable the can can still be projected by the rupture either as shrapnel or as a rocket powered can, and the gas can blow the initial fire all over the place
What else can I help you with?
What hazard symbol do all aerosol cans have in common?
The hazard symbol that all aerosol cans have in common is the flammable symbol, which indicates that the contents are highly flammable and may pose a fire hazard.
What is imo class for aerosol spray can?
IMO class for aerosol spray cans is Class 2.1, which covers flammable gases. Aerosol products typically contain flammable propellants that can pose a fire hazard. Proper precautions should be taken when handling and storing aerosol spray cans to prevent accidents.
Are there any restrictions on checking aerosol cans in baggage?
Yes, there are restrictions on checking aerosol cans in baggage. Aerosol cans are generally allowed in checked baggage if they are less than 18 ounces and are used for personal care or toiletry items. However, aerosol cans containing flammable materials are not allowed in checked baggage. It is recommended to check with the airline for specific guidelines before packing aerosol cans in your luggage.
Why can't an aerosol can be thrown into the fireplace?
An aerosol can should not be thrown into a fireplace because it can explode when exposed to high temperatures, leading to serious injury or property damage. The pressurized contents of the can, such as gas or flammable liquid, can cause the can to rupture violently. It is safer to dispose of aerosol cans properly according to local guidelines.
Are all products in an aerosol can flammable?
No, not all products in an aerosol can are flammable. The flammability of an aerosol product depends on its ingredients and propellant. Many aerosol products, such as hairspray or cooking spray, are flammable because they contain propellants like butane or propane. However, other aerosol products like air fresheners or spray paint may not be flammable.
Can I have aerosol cans in my checked baggage"?
No, aerosol cans are generally not allowed in checked baggage due to safety regulations.
What is the value chain of Aerosol cans?
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.
What are the disadvantages of aerosol cans?

Can I bring an aerosol can on a plane"?
No, aerosol cans are generally not allowed in carry-on luggage on planes due to safety regulations. It is recommended to check with the airline for specific guidelines on transporting aerosol cans.
Can I bring an aerosol can on an airplane"?
No, aerosol cans are generally not allowed in carry-on luggage on airplanes due to safety regulations. It is recommended to check with the airline for specific guidelines on transporting aerosol cans.
Can you bring aerosol in your checked bag?
No, aerosol cans are generally not allowed in checked bags due to the risk of explosion or leakage. It is recommended to pack aerosol cans in your carry-on bag instead.
What is the hazardous waste code for aerosol cans?
The hazardous waste code for aerosol cans is typically D001, which classifies them as a hazardous waste due to their ignitability. Aerosol cans can be dangerous if not disposed of properly due to their pressurized contents and potential to explode.
