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. Au moment de l'emploi, le contenu est émis par la valve et se répand en fines gouttelettes liquides dans l'atmosphère. 8, record 1, French, - g%C3%A9n%C3%A9rateur%20d%27a%C3%A9rosol

[A] type of canister that sprays an aerosol. 2, record 3, English, - aerosol%20spray
Record number: 3, Textual support number: 1 CONT
This type of spray can is a canister containing liquid under pressure from pressurized vapor in equilibrium with another liquid, which often also dissolves the payload. When the can's valve is opened, the liquid is forced out of a small hole and emerges as an aerosol or mist. As gas expands to drive out the payload, some propellant evaporates inside the can to maintain an even pressure. Outside the can, the droplets of propellant evaporate rapidly, leaving the payload suspended as very fine particles or droplets. 2, record 3, English, - aerosol%20spray
