A squirt of this inert gas displaces the oxygen-containing air from your oils; put the cap back on and your precious oils are protected from oxidation. However, using it in small bottles of oil may not work because the blast of air is too powerful and will displace the oils. See instuctions and warnings on the Use tab or on the label before using.
The pressurized gas in the bottle will expand to about 24 liters of volume, which should displace the volume of 4800 5 ml bottles or 1600 15 ml. bottles. Obviously if you are using it for larger bottles it won't go as far.
We keep bottles of this handy on the pouring table and the blending bar to extend the life of our essential oils.
When using on small (5 and 15 ml) bottles, use extreme care to avoid oil squirting out of the bottle. Do not use if the bottle is full. If there is room in the small bottle, use only a light tap on the aerosol can. Do not insert the aerosol tube into the EO bottle orifice; instead place it near the orifice and use two squirts. The first squirt should be across the orifice, which will draw some of the gas out of the bottle through the venturi effect; then a second squirt angled into the orifice so that some of the gas goes into the bottle. If you do put the tube into the orifice, don't put it in all the way, and use only light taps.
WARNING: If using in small bottles of oil, there is a risk that some of the oil may squirt out of the bottle when you squirt the gas in. We recommend wearing safety glasses when using to avoid eye injury!
The gases themselves are completely harmless and will not have any effect on your precious oils.
The contents of the can are under pressure. Do not puncture or incinerate. Do not expose to heat or temperature above 120°F (50°C) Keep out of reach of children.
