Fluids for Atmospheric Effects
Below you'll find a list of fog, smoke, and haze machines. They're listed alphabetically by manufacturer, then by machine name.
Next to the machine name is the class of fluid used for that machine (oil, water, water-based, etc.).
Most of the "water based" fluids are a mixture of glycol and water, a few are not.
Each machine has its own list of fluids that, according to the product literature, are appropriate
to that machine. Many foggers from the same family and manufacturer will take the same fluid. Only the ones I could find specifically approved
in the manufacturer's literature are listed here. I'm sure there are some viable fluids not listed - but I'd rather be cautious than gum up your fogger.
Speaking of which - every effort has been made to verify the information presented here, but you and only you are responsible for what you
put in your machine. Please double check with another reliable source before you use a fluid or machine for the first time. If you find errors or omissions or have
additional reference links, please send me email (there's a link on the left).
You'll find MSDS information here.
Smile, be merry, and don't stand too close to the Roadie Fogger X-Stream.
