Can Perfume in a Car Explode?
1 Answers
Spray-type perfumes have the potential to explode. Below is a detailed explanation of the reasons why perfume may explode: 1. Excessive temperature: In summer, high temperatures cause an increase in gas inside the perfume bottle. If the bottle opening only allows a small amount of gas to escape, the pressure inside the bottle builds up, and poor-quality bottles may rupture. Therefore, only a small amount of perfume should be poured into a car perfume bottle at a time, leaving enough space for gas to evaporate. Additionally, the perfume bottle cap should be screwed on but not too tightly, ensuring a slightly open channel for perfume evaporation to prevent issues. 2. Type of perfume: (1) Spray-type perfume: Similar to regular body perfumes, external pressure causes the perfume to spray out. One type is the evaporation type, which relies on the natural evaporation of the perfume to release fragrance. Spray-type perfumes are relatively more dangerous as they only have one spray hole. If the spray hole becomes blocked and the temperature rises, accelerating perfume evaporation, it may lead to an explosion. (2) Evaporation-type perfume: Since it is not sealed, the likelihood of an explosion is relatively small. However, some small manufacturers may add large amounts of alcohol to the perfume to reduce costs, making the perfume more prone to expansion and explosion under high temperatures.
