The invention discloses a compound type aerosol extinguishing agent comprising the following components in percentage by weight: 30-75 percent of oxidizing agent, 20-50 percent of reducing agent, 2-15 percent of performance regulating agent and no more than 2 percent of binding agent. The oxidizing agent is prepared by matching any two or three matched components selected from potassium nitrate, strontium nitrate and magnesium nitrate; the reducing agent is prepared by matching two or more components selected from polyhexose, glucose, starch, sorbitol, xylitol, lactose, dicyandiamide, melamine, carbamide and sucrose; the performance regulating agent is prepared by matching one or more component selected from carbon powder, light magnesium carbonate, magnesium stearate, aluminium nitrate, hexamethylenetetramine, aluminium oxide, magnesium oxide and light metal oxide; and the binding agent is prepared by matching water or 20-30 percent of ethanol added into the water. In the invention, production raw materials have a wide source and low cost, can be constantly obtained and are safe and reliable, and burnt residues have no toxicity and good environmental protection performance.
