The Truth About "Canned Air" The fact is, there is no such thing as "canned air". Traditional aerosol dusters contain synthetic chemicals that emit harmful and potentially toxic vapors. In addition, these chemicals leave a moisture residue that can contaminate and damage expensive equipment. Synthetic chemicals degrade extremely slow, taking decades to breakdown. The long term effects of these chemicals to our health and environment are still uncertain. Carbon dioxide gas—part of the Earth' cycle of life There is an alternative to aerosols: carbon dioxide gas. Carbon dioxide is a pure gas that exists naturally in Earth's atmosphere, so it's not dangerous to health of humans. It's also environmentally friendly. Purification of carbon dioxide gas demands much less energy than conventional chemical manufacturing, reducing environmental pollution. The Secret for delivering carbon dioxide gas! The CO 2 Dust and Particle Remover makes cleaning with this safe, effective gas a reality. The CO 2 utilizes small cylinders of carbon dioxide gas with a precision valve assembly and nozzle. This design produces a high velocity, residue free stream of gas, perfect for cleaning cameras, camcorders, electronics, musical instruments, sewing machines, electric razors, smoke detectors and much more. Additionally, carbon dioxide gas will not break down delicate lubricants, inks and dyes. The CO-2 is made in the USA from high strength, glass filled nylon. All internal fittings are brass and stainless steel. The CO-2's body features six safety vents that allow gas to escape in the event the unit is opened before gas is fully discharged from the cylinder. As with any cleaning product, always keep the CO-2 out of the reach of children. Recycling Steel Cylinders With the CO-2, the same valve assembly is used again and again; only the gas cylinders need to be replaced. Each cylinder holds 12 grams of gas which, when used properly, will deliver between 150 to 200 half second blasts of gas. The steel cylinder consists of as much metal in a small soup can and is 100% recyclable. With aerosols, a new valve must be manufactured for each can, only which a portion can be recycled. The CO-2 make cents The CO-2's valve and nozzle assembly will deliver years of dependable service. Replacement gas cylinders are inexpensive, and the overall cost of the CO-2 is comparable to that of aerosols. And the safer environmentally friendlier CO-2 offers a superior cleaning performance and health benefits that you can' put a price on! WARNING! Do not use gas cylinders designed for use with BB guns. These cylinders contain lubricating oils that will permanently contaminate the valve and nozzle, as well as damage the equipment being cleaned
