Well, I remember back in the day using asbestos rope as a caulking compound in cast iron soil pipes. It was called PC4. As soon as the lid of the container was opened, a huge plume of asbestos dust filled the air, and at that time, we knew nothing about the risks of asbestos. One day we noticed a change of name to the product to PC4AF, with the AF denoting asbestos free. Back then health and safety was virtually non existent.

compressed air in a tin,

If it's the stuff I'm thinking of (duster gas) it was never compressed air just aerosol propellant. IIRC, it was originally a non-flammable, but ozone-destroying, CFC and when CFCs were banned it was substituted with propane. 🙁
