FAQ
Aerosols destroy the ozone layer?
FALSE:
Since 1990 (following the signing of the Montreal Protocol in 1987), aerosol manufacturers stopped using CFCs (Chlorofluorocarbons) responsible for the deterioration of the ozone layer. They also abandoned the use of HCFCs (hydrochlorofluorocarbons) are also implicated. 101, 202, Mat, Brillant, Craqueler, Vernis Marin, Dépoli, Vernis Satiné
Aerosols they pollute?
FALSE:
Studies have shown that the contribution of aerosols to global warming can be considered negligible compared to the quantities of greenhouse gases produced by traffic or industry in general. 101, 201, 202, 303, 404, 505, 606, Mat, Brillant, Craqueler, Vernis Marin, Dépoli
With an aerosol is wasted?
FALSE:
The purpose of a spray is to cover a large surface using the least possible product. Indeed, the active ingredient is divided into fine particles to be uniformly deposited on the carrier coating. 101, 201, 202, 303, 404, 505, 606
Once empty, the aerosol can be thrown in the trash?
TRUE:
housing aerosol packaging used is a commonplace that is within the normal flow of household waste. The boxes are made of metal (iron, aluminum) or glass, they can be sorted and recycled. 101, 202, 505, 606
The fumes coming out of an aerosol are toxic?
TRUE-FALSE:
It depends on its constitution and the smell has no connection with the possible toxicity. An aerosol is composed of 3 groups of materials: - Active substances, solid or liquid - Solvents: they solubilisent active substances - The propellants: they "grow" the active ingredient mixture solvent + non-aerosol If none of these compounds is classified as toxic or harmful fumes (in normal use) are not dangerous to health. If against a dangerous product is present in the aerosol in sufficient quantities to cause adverse effects on humans or the environment, the danger will be indicated on the package by one of the following icons. Attention: These symbols are indicative. An aerosol labeled with such a symbol is not banned, it should simply take a few precautions for use in good conditions. At the sight of one of these icons, it is important to read the label that you give more details on the exact nature of the hazard and how to protect themselves. For example, two products ordered Xi (irritant) may not represent the same dangers. One may be specified "irritating to the eyes" and "irritating to skin." A product may also be classified in one category and its possible effects appear in cases of repeated or prolonged exposure. This will be indicated on the label. For products ODIFICATION ODIFICATION no adhesive to the general public (creative leisure, stationery ...) is classified as toxic, harmful, dangerous for the environment or even irritating. This is also the case for most products industry. ODIFICATION tries wherever possible to develop products with no compounds in these categories. The propellants used by ODIFICATION are the same as those used in deodorants and hair sprays. 201, 202, 303, 404, Mat, Brillant, Craqueler, Vernis Marin, Dépoli, Vernis Satiné |
