Abstract: A novel composition comprising one part by weight of a viscosity-imparting agent and 0.1-100 parts by weight of water is disclosed. Usable viscosity-imparting agents are synthetic polymer resins, polyols and hydrophilic organic substances. The viscosity of the composition is, preferably, in the range of 5-20,000 poises. The composition is suitable as sealant for sliding contact sections, e.g. in an aerosol container using a propellant such as liquefied- or compressed gas.

Abstract: A novel aerosol container structure includes a container body having its different ends a product spout and a propellant inlet both openable and closable, a plate member slidable along on the inside wall of the container body, and a sealant for sliding contact section in a layer containing water or a polyol, wherein the plate member is inserted into said container body to separate its inner space into two sections, one section with the product spout used as product area, and the other section with propellant inlet used as propellant area, and also to hold the sealant in a layer at the sliding contact section located between the periphery of the plate member and the inside wall of the container body, as well as to a process for manufacturing the same.

Abstract: The invention relates to a nozzle connected to an aerosol vessel 1 which has an obliquely-handling valve 3. When a finger piece 18 protruding sideways from the nozzle body 14 is pressed toward the aerosol vessel 1, the obliquely-handling valve 3 can be opened easily by lever action without requiring a strong force, and the aerosol contents can be discharged continuously from a discharge portion 17 onto a target area 27 through a discharge path 16 for a relatively long period of time, without tiring the finger of the user.
