Disclosed is a novel blowing agent of tetrazoles and their derivatives. The blowing agent comprising tetrazole derivatives is harmless, odorless and inexpensive. Moreover, the agent is low in physical sensitivities and safe in use, and generates clean gas by being sharply decomposed only due to temperature. The blowing agent of tetrazoles and their derivatives employs aminotetrazole derivatives represented by the general formula (1). The blowing agent offers foaming agents for resin molded bodies having good thermal properties, inflators for air bags serving as automobile safety protection, or smoking agents for diffusing chemicals by a low-cost inexpensive synthetic process.
