What is the tissot actuator?
Aerosol products can be classified into two categories depending on the physical characteristics of gas used as the propellant. In liquefied gas type products, compressed and liquefied gas is used as the propellant, and in compressed gas type products, compressed and high pressure gas is used as the propellant. In the compressed gas type products (its contents are usually liquid), we cannot use a side orifice (vapor tap) to mix the vapor phase with the contents within the housing to make finer mist as we do in the liquefied gas type products where liquefied gas is dissolved in the contents. Although standard actuators can make mist, using this actuator enables to discharge finer mist in an wider area evenly. The tissot actuator can be used on both the liquefied gas type and the compressed gas type products. We also call it a “double mechanical break-up actuator”.
