A single-phase aerosol is reportedly allowed 70 weight-percent. It is also a pressure vessel.

The format difference

An aerosol holds product and propellant under pressure and delivers a much finer mist than a pump. The reported VOC limits for aerosols are far higher than for a pump spray, which looks like an easy answer.

And is not available to a small maker

Aerosol filling is specialist contract work with its own equipment, its own safety case and its own transport classification. It is not something done on a bench.

The propellant is usually a VOC itself

Which is part of why the limit is set where it is. A higher allowance for aerosols reflects what the format requires rather than a lighter regulatory touch.

Transport changes entirely

A pressurised container is regulated in shipping in a way a pump spray is not. That reaches carriers, labelling, and whether a consumer parcel service will take it at all.

So the catalog is honest about scope

There is no aerosol can on this shelf. 413 containers, every one of them a bottle for a pump or trigger sprayer, because that is the format this catalog serves and the one a small producer can actually fill.

Which is not a limitation for the craft

A pump spray linen mist is a premium format, not a compromise. The aerosol advantage is reach and fineness, and for fabric and linen the pump is often preferred anyway.

If you need an aerosol, the conversation is a filler

Not a packaging supplier. The container, the valve, the propellant and the filling are one specialist package, and the right first call is to somebody who does all four.

Which also keeps the property honest

Writing about aerosol VOC allowances on a shelf with no aerosol on it would be describing a format we cannot supply as though we could. Naming the limit and then saying why it is out of scope is the useful version.

Table 1 would not serve to us from law.cornell.edu, ecfr.gov or the govinfo PDF, so these four figures are unconfirmed against the current text and are flagged wherever they are used.
