            What gas is used for the propellant?

            Butane & Propane

            By|Sep 11, 2026

              (2)

              Even though I am a retired chemist who actually made aerosol formulations during part of my career, I never evaluated the contents of nor measured the internal pressure of a PreVal canister (which can sometimes provide a good indication of the propellant). However, understanding the chemistry of paints, I would predict that the propellant is a mixture of propane and butane. These hydrocarbons are commonly used in aerosols of all kinds because they not only propel the desired contents from the container towards your target, they also disperse rapidly in flight so that there is no bubbling of the liquid that hits the target.

                  can the aerosol can be carried on an airplane?

                  Answer This Question

                  Our Preval Sprayer is only 1.94oz but is still considered a hazardous good because it is an aerosol. Please check with the airline you are flying and TSA.

                      No, I would not attempt it on this type of large project, plus not being able to dilute it.

                        Good idea but an absolute fail on producing.
                        Complete garbage. I did the same as many others on here. I was using a water-based dye, which is as thin as it gets. The stuff came out between the jar and the lid and got on everything except for the sample what I was trying to spray. All I can say is thank God I had a sample piece to spray and not the shaker doors I spent so much time making. Seriously don't waste your money.

                          This works great!!! I have been trying to jury-rig something to do exactly what this sprayer does and the price is beyond reasonable.
