Le générateur aérosol est un récipient à partir duquel peut être dispersé un produit généralement sous l'effet d'un gaz propulseur et par l'intermédiaire d'une valve. On dit dans le langage courant bombe aérosol. La formulation se présente comme un liquide volatil qui contient en solution la ou les matières actives et un propulseur qui peut être liquide.
