Q: What is your US DOT rating?
A: All of our cans are made to the same material specifications which will satisfy the
DOT-2Q pressure and wall thickness requirements. However, unless directed by our
customer to do so, we do not incorporate the required "DOT-2Q" markings into the
lithography. Therefore, our cans are DOT-2Q (or 2P) only upon request.

Q: What is 2Q?
A: DOT-2Q is a classification for certain aerosol cans that adhere to specific
dimensional, material, manufacture, wall thickness, testing, and marking
requirements. The DOT-2Q certification is the strongest among the three
classifications; non-specification, DOT-2P, and DOT-2Q.

A: This refers to the pressure required to cause permanent deformation (buckle) or
bursting of an aerosol can.

Q: What is buckle/burst for 2Q?
A: All DOT-2Q cans are required to withstand a minimum of 180 psig without buckle
and 270 psig without burst.

Q: Do you have an 18 Bar EU rating?
A: Yes, cans with this rating are available, but only upon request. This is a European
designation that exceeds the DOT-2Q requirements for buckle/burst. 18 bar cans will
withstand a minimum of 261 psig without buckle and 313 psig without burst.
