Compressed gas aerosol composition comprising a non-ionic surfactant in a steel can

An aerosol product comprising in combination

• (a) steel can with aerosol dispensing top, body and base, wherein said steel can has an interior surface having thereon a lining which is an organic coating or polymeric laminate, and, optionally a tin coating, wherein when the tin coating is present, the lining is provided over top of said tin coating;
• and
• (b) a composition consisting of
• (i) water in an amount greater than about 80 wt. % but less than 100 wt. %,
• (ii) about 0.5 to about 2 wt. % of compressed gas propellant,
• (iii) about 0.1 to about 2 wt. % of fragrance component,
• (iv) pH adjuster component in an amount sufficient to provide said composition with a pH of about 8 to less than 10,
• (v) corrosion inhibitor component in an amount greater than 0, but equal to or less than about 0.5 wt. % comprising one or more of a phosphate, nitrite or silicate corrosion inhibiting compound,
• (vi) about 0.5 to about 2 wt. % of surfactant component which is either (1) at least one nonionic surfactant or (2) a blend of at least one nonionic surfactant and at least one cationic surfactant,
• (vii) optionally a solvent selected from a group consisting of alcohols and glycols,
• (viii) optionally a buffer component, and
• (ix) optionally a preservative component;
• wherein said composition is contained in said steel can and contacts said lining on said interior surface of said steel can;
• wherein said composition excludes anionic, amphoteric and zwitterionic surfactants.

An aerosol system comprising:

• (a) a spray dispenser in combination with
• (b) an aqueous-based product contained in said dispenser for dispensing therefrom;
• wherein said spray dispenser comprises:
• (i) a spray head adapted to dispense said product and
• (ii) a steel container including an interior for holding said product, wherein walls forming said interior in contact with said product have a lining thereon, said lining being an organic coating or a polymeric laminate;
• wherein said product consists of:
• (1) about 0.5 to about 2 wt. % of nonionic surfactant,
• (2) 0 to about 3 wt. % of cationic surfactant,
• (3) about 0.1 to about 2 wt. % of a fragrance component,
• (4) about 0.5 to about 2 wt. % of compressed gas propellant,
• (5) pH adjuster in an amount to achieve a pH of about 8 to less than 10 for the product,
• (6) about 0.01 to about 0.5 wt. % of corrosion inhibitor,
• (7) about 80 to less than 100 wt. % water;
• (8) optionally a solvent selected from the group consisting of alcohols and glycols;
• (9) optionally a buffer component;
• and
• (10) optionally a preservative component;
• wherein components (1) to (10) of the product are present in amounts which in combination with the lining in the steel container provide said product as visually clear or substantially non-colored to an extent not to discolor a surface which the product contacts upon dispensing;
• and
• wherein anionic, amphoteric and zwitterionic surfactants are excluded from the system.
