The current explanation says that cans of compressed air are pressurized with a propellant gas.  This seems unlikely to me, but it's not ''impossible''... it's just that I'd expect a can of compressed air to be only that, without needing a propellant.  What I'm seeing in a quick search on-line supports that.  Do cans of air/propellant exist?
