Small, Mechanical Valve for Use With Propellant Gas

A valve technology is sought that can be used with a propellant- gas-based device aimed at the consumer goods industry. The valve will be used with a canister of propellant gas, in a handheld consumer device, and needs to be small, lightweight, and low-cost. The size should be in the millimeter to centimeter range, weigh less than 5 grams, require no priming, be air-actuated, allow a flow rate between 25 mL/sec and 90 mL/sec, and be manufactured from materials that meet European Union or FDA requirements.
