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.

∙ 9y agoAerosol cans have a do not incinerate warning because if you put them in a fire they will explode. The amount of pressure will swell up in the can and it will explode and make a popping noise.

∙ 14y agoIf the gas is heated, then the particles move faster. When the particles move faster, they apply more pressure. The can won't have enough space and will explode.

∙ 13y agobecause you will die............. hahaha.......... so plz. puncture it so will die....... i try it and i die.... so good bye to you my friends......
Wiki User
∙ 15y agoBecause the can is under pressure and if it is heated, it will explode.
Wiki User
∙ 14y agoBecause the gas is under pressure, and the heat causes to it to expand and explode.

Why volatile liquids are often used as propellants in aerosol spry cans of such things as paints and deodorants?
Because non-volatile liquids don't work.
Why are CFCs banned as refrigerator coolants but are still allowed in aerosol cans?
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.
Why are volatile liquids often used in aerosol spray cans?
What kind of liquids are you talking about? ... and why do you mean volatile? Do you mean flammable? The question refers to the propellants used in aerosol spray cans. If aerosol cans were filled with compressed gas, they would have to be designed to withstand extremely high pressures, which would not be cost-effective. Instead, liquid propellants (usually butane, isobutane or propane) are used, which allow a much larger amount of propellant to be stored, at a reasonable pressure. These liquid propellants are "volatile" in the sense that a small amount of the liquid evaporates every time some of the gas is released, so that the vapor and liquid stay in equilibrium. As it happens, most of these liquid propellants are also flammable, but the term "volatile" refers to their tendency to evaporate.
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.

Do aerosol spray cans have to be in a cabinet?
They don't have to be in a cabinet. Some people store there aerosol cans in hollowed out TV sets and some people bury them in the ground in treasure chests. I keep my aerosol spray cans in a locked box hidden in my attic, so they will never be stolen.

What is the abbreviation of chlorofluorocarbons?
CFC is the abbreviation. This abbreviation is often seen on aerosol cans. Hairspray brands such as Aqua Net in the 1980s had large aerosol cans with that abbreviation on the label.

How do you recycle aerosol cans?
Yes cans are recycled.You can make a bowling game out of cans.Turn cans into a bowling pin.
Why do aerosol cans have a do not incinerate morning?
If they still have propellant they will explode when incinerated.
