Air Duster safe for use on computer hardware?

Simba

I picked up a cheap 'air duster' can from my local hardware shop for £1.99

Despite the name it doesn't smell like air and it has a flammable label on the back. It says safe for use on laptops keyboards phones printers etc but is it safe for PC internals?

Oxygen is highly flammable so it would do I don't actually know what they put in them but it should be safe that's pretty much what there designed for.

Yes, they're safe. Just make sure it's unplugged and there is no power going through it. Also, use it outside since ingesting too much of the gas can be dangerous.

Oxygen is an oxidant (hence the term), it can make things burn but you need a fuel like an organic gas for it to start a flame.

Yes, but you'll need to hold the fans so they don't over spin and break themselves. Case fans, GPU fans, CPU cooler fans etc
