Will Perfume Left in a Car Explode in Hot Weather?
1 Answers
Spray-type perfumes have the potential to explode. In summer, when temperatures are excessively high, the gas inside the perfume bottle increases. If the bottle's opening only allows a small amount of gas to escape, the pressure inside the bottle builds up, and bottles of poor quality may rupture. Therefore, only a small amount of perfume should be poured into the 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 unobstructed path for perfume evaporation, which will prevent any issues. Below is related information: 1. Car perfumes mainly come in two structural principles: one is the spray type, similar to regular body perfumes, where external pressure causes the perfume to spray out. The other is the evaporation type, which relies on the natural evaporation of the perfume to release its fragrance. 2. Spray-type perfumes are relatively more dangerous as they only have one spray hole. If the spray hole gets blocked and the temperature rises, accelerating the evaporation of the perfume, it could lead to an explosion. Evaporation-type perfumes, being unsealed, have a lower chance of exploding. Furthermore, some small manufacturers add large amounts of alcohol to the perfume to reduce costs, making the perfume more prone to expansion and explosion under high temperatures. 3. Therefore, considering all factors, it is recommended that car owners opt for evaporation-type perfumes when purchasing car perfumes for greater safety.
