AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The present invention is related to a packaged product that includes a personal care medium, a propellant, and an aerosol container. The personal care medium and the propellant are stored within the aerosol container and include a non-flammable volatile agent that includes at least one organofluorine compound. The packaged product may also include an aerosol container with at least two reservoirs separated by a barrier. The personal care medium is stored in the first reservoir, while the propellant is stored in the second resерvoir. The use of these non-flammable volatile agents helps to improve the stability and effectiveness of the personal care medium and the propellant.

Problems solved by technology

The volatile agent typically is flammable.

The use of a flammable volatile agent in a packaged product may be problematic for one or more reasons.

For example, a packaged product that includes a flammable volatile agent stored within an aerosol container may be subject to government regulations that limit the size of the aerosol container, or that limit the types of materials that the aerosol container may be made of.
