Though it’s named “canned air”, these cans contain gases that are compressed into liquids. Talking of true liquid air isn’t feasible, as it can’t be stored metal spray cans because of extreme pressure and temperature requirements.

Most notable computer duster gases include 1, 1-difluoroethane, 1, 1, 1-trifluoroethane, or 1, 1, 1, 2-tetrafluoroethane. Earlier butane was in use, but due to its inflammable, the gas was replaced with fluorocarbons. When inhaled, these gas duster fumes create psychic effects and harmful.

When those gases are released, they shoot out at high speeds. This cleaning equipment is ideally suited for cleaning laptops, PCs, cameras, mobile phones, keyboards, DVD players, TVs and similar devices.

Compressed air can contain gasses that are compressed to such an extent that they become liquids. The liquid form is used for cleaning of the most sensitive electrical equipment.

The most important features of the best ones:

1.    Valve is one of the most important features of the cans. You should check the valve before purchase. These valves should rotate up to 360 degrees. The smooth spray of the liquid to hard-to-reach the areas of the devices depends on the rotation technique. It is always better to have removable valves than fixed.

2.  Operators while carrying out the safety tests should stay alert about the air receivers, the air distributions lines, the pressure regulation devices and the operation of the compressor.

3.    Compressed air cans shouldn’t be used to clean off clothes, workbenches, cabs of work vehicles, air filters or workshop floors.

4.      Compressors and air powered tools require daily checkups and maintenance.
