Background
Aerosol is used by a wide range of industries: health, cosmetics, food, automobile and household chemicals. Plastic aerosol containers provide numerous benefits to consumers: lightweight, lower storage and transportation costs, design, texture, transparency, user friendliness and possible reuse. They are suitable for non-flammable, low pressure products. Plastic aerosol provides significant environmental benefits as compared to metal packaging becoz there is no volatile organic carbon. The Keltec dispensing system converts a liquid into foam by using pressurized air instead of a propellant,Globenewswire. The new shapes and the artwork possibilities make them very attractive for the packaging of new products. The European Aerosol Federation (FEA) has developed new requirements for plastic aerosols which is a two step approach ,Committee of experts from FEA . There are tests for the empty container and filled aerosol. Graham packaging has developed a PEN aerosol for a body hygiene product in 2002 and have recently developed a PET product because PET is cheap and is a pressure resistant material. The main advantages of a plastic aerosol are rustfree, no BPA, ease of use, compatible with current filling lines, and new ways of decorating the product such as shrink labels , Aerosol forum
