L'invention concerne un mélange pyrotechnique pour générer un aérosol, le mélange contenant au moins un agent oxydant, au moins un agent réducteur ainsi qu'au moins un mélange de matières nébulisable vaporisable. Pour obtenir que le mélange pyrotechnique puisse être produit simplement et à peu de frais, qu'il génère un aérosol sans danger d'un point de vue humain et écotoxicologique et que des températures relativement basses soient nécessaires pour vaporiser le mélange de matières nébulisable, l'invention propose d'utiliser comme mélange nébulisable un mélange composé d'au moins un acide monocarboxylique aliphatique saturé ayant une longueur de chaîne de carbone C14 à C24 et un émulsifiant du groupe des monoglycérides ou diglycérides esters d'acides gras ou un mélange de ceux-ci ou des monoglycérides ou diglycérides esters d'acides gras estérifiés avec de l'acide de fruits ou des mélanges.
