Patent ID: 7216783

Claim:
An aerosol package comprising a container having: side walls, a bottom wall and a top wall collectively defining an enclosed chamber having a predetermine volume, the chamber having a predetermined burst pressure (P burst ) at a predetermined temperature (T burst ), and a valved outlet to selectively dispense the fluid from the container; an aerosol propellant and a liquid in the chamber, the propellant having a predetermined vapor pressure at selected temperatures; the liquid further comprising a predetermined concentration of a gas-producing compound that is stable in the liquid under controlled conditions but that will decompose in the presence of certain reagents to produce a gas within the chamber; wherein the amount of the liquid of the gas-producing-compound in the container is selected to be the maximum amount of liquid that can safely be loaded into the container without exceeding at least 80% of the burst pressure of the container in a worst case decomposition scenario wherein the gas producing compound is assumed to be completely decomposed; and the temperature of the container and contents are at least at ambient temperatures at which the aerosol package is expected to be stored.
