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