What is the difference between marking paint and Aerosol Products

The difference between marking paint and aerosol products lies in their purpose versus form:

  1. Marking Paint:
    • Purpose: Specifically designed to create visible, durable marks on surfaces (e.g., construction sites, sports fields, utility lines).
    • Formats: Can be aerosol-based (spray cans), liquid applied with brushes/rollers, or even powder.
    • Features: Often formulated for high visibility, weather resistance, and temporary or permanent adhesion. Colors like fluorescent orange, pink, or blue are common.
  2. Aerosol Products:
    • Form: Refers to any product dispensed as a fine spray via a pressurized container (aerosol can).
    • Uses: Broad category including paints, cleaners, cosmetics (e.g., hairspray), insecticides, and adhesives.
    • Scope: Not limited to paint—encompasses many industries and applications.

Key Difference:

  • Marking paint is defined by its application purpose (marking surfaces), while aerosol products are defined by their delivery method (pressurized spray).
  • Marking paint can be an aerosol product, but aerosol products include far more than just paint (e.g., deodorants, cooking sprays).
  • Non-aerosol marking paints (e.g., brush-applied) exist, and not all aerosol paints are for marking (e.g., decorative spray paints).

Example:

  • Aerosol marking paint = pressurized can used to spray temporary construction lines.
  • Non-aerosol marking paint = liquid applied with a squirt bottle for garden layouts.
  • Non-paint aerosol product = air freshener or spray sunscreen.
