The LMM-6000 Aerosol Can package has in the past been known to clog or spit during normal usage. These issues were related to the material settling in the bottom of the can. The settled material could be sucked into the nozzle and valve system of the can, as seen to the right, causing a clog. The LMM-6000 Aerosol Can has been reformulated to correct this issue, and the settling has been largely eliminated.
Some users may still experience clogging of the LMM-6000 can. Our testing has determined that this may be due to a problem with the valve used on the can. The gasket in the valve may not completely seal, causing leakage to occur. If it occurs, the leakage can be seen under the nozzle, in the metal cup, as seen at below right. The gasket problem can cause clogging and leaking of the can.
To help prevent this condition, we recommend a thorough cleaning of the nozzle and valve after each use of the can. The nozzle should be removed from the can and cleaned with warm water. The can valve should also be cleaned well with warm water to remove all traces of LMM-6000 material. Spinning the nozzle slightly while removing and inserting into the can valve will also help loosen any dried material that could cause clogging. Keeping the valve and nozzle system clean should allow continued use of the LMM-6000 Aerosol Can.
