...propellant in numerous aerosol sprays, is depleting the ozone layer of the earth's atmosphere and increasing worldwide the danger of skin cancer from the sun's radiation. Last week three federal agencies announced a timetable for phasing out fluorocarbons from all "nonessential" uses-including deodorants, hair sprays and perfumes-by the spring...
...water and butane gas as a propellant. Besides getting rid of the fluorocarbons, Aquasol has another advantage: the butane propellant is not in solution but floats in pressurized form at the top of the can, so more of the can's space can be filled with deodorant, hair spray or whatever. "The breakthrough is in the valve," says Abplanalp. Aerosol valves have one duct through which the fluorocarbon-product mix passes. Aquasol has two ducts: one for the butane, one for a mixture of water and the product. They meet in a swirl chamber where, says Abplanalp...
...spray cans sold in the U.S. But the controversy over their environmental impact has undermined sales of aerosol products of all sorts. Though many companies are looking into replacement for fluorocarbon gas, until now the only alternatives have been highly combustible gases that are unsuited to certain products, including hair sprays. Fluorocarbons, for all their drawbacks, are not combustible; neither is the butane-water mix in the Aquasol system. Anticipating the federal fluorocarbon ban, Gillette and some other manufacturers last year began switching to pump-action containers for their products, but these do not emit the fine, even spray...

Candice Bergen is strangely cast as the wife in the film, playing the role with her hair colored a deglamorizing brown. But her scenes with Hackman have neither flair nor fire, and their love seems merely fabricated to satisfy a movie convention...
