spraying contact cleaner while it's Live

[g-and-h_electric]

Hey guys..... I know this is a little off topic, but the flammable propellants in aerosol cans brought a new hazard to mind. The "new" environmentally friendly refrigerant used in refrigerators and freezers is either propane or butane based (I forget which). How is this safe at all????

I do refrigeration work for the shop that employs me, and saw the labels.

Just an FYI, nothing more from me..... too hot in Chicago to complain!

I really only use that kind of stuff to clean out gunk and dirt that is binding the mechanical operation. of contacts

Contact cleaner from the early 1980's had freon as the propellent and mechanics in our shop used it as a degreaser. First the only sold it to electricians then they made them replace the Freon with guess cheap compressed air.

At least they didn't replace it with propane, like they did in hairspray
