What size droplets do canned aerosols typically produce?

Canned aerosols typically produce droplets in the size range of 20-30 microns. This size is significant because it allows for effective dispersion and coverage when applying pesticides or other substances in aerosol form. Droplets within this size range can easily remain airborne long enough to reach the target area while minimizing the risk of drift.

Smaller droplets, such as those in the 1-5 micron range, may evaporate too quickly and not deliver the product effectively. Conversely, larger droplets, like those in the 50-100 micron range, can fall too quickly to the ground and may not provide adequate coverage on the intended surfaces. Therefore, the 20-30 micron droplet size strikes a balance between efficacy and application efficiency, making it an ideal size for products delivered via aerosol cans.
