French term or phrase: aérosol à percussion
Target=UK

For an email concerning a one shot aviation insecticide.

Is this some kind of valve release ?

I've put this in general because I really didn't know what other field I could put it in.
These emails are generally just trade information, I seldom need this nitty gritty information.

Explanation:
I found 'aérosol percutant' which may be another way of saying 'aérosol à percussion' and which appears to often be translated as 'one shot spray'.

Notes to answerer
Asker: The thing is, the exact text is : Insecticide aviation one shot Ref XXX (aérosol à percussion)

agree  David Goward: I suspect that the French bit in brackets in MJ's note is provided to inform French users what "one shot" means. Probably required by law!

disagree  philgoddard: You can't just ignore "à percussion", and it's nothing to do with crop dusting.
