Antari FLC20 Jet Fog Fluid – Fast Dissipating – 20 Litres
Create sharp, high-impact fog bursts that disappear rapidly with Antari FLC20 Jet Fog Fluid – 20 Litres, a specialised professional fog liquid formulated for compatible Antari jet fog machines.
Unlike conventional fog fluids designed to maintain atmosphere throughout a stage or venue, Antari FLC is engineered specifically for the short, powerful output characteristics of jet-style fog effects.
Antari currently describes FLC as:
Jet Fog Fluid for Jet Fog Machine Use Only.
The fluid is designed for compatible Antari jet fog machines that produce fast, concentrated plumes of fog commonly used to simulate the visual impact of a CO₂-style jet effect.
This makes FLC particularly suited to:
- Concerts
- Music festivals
- Touring productions
- Nightclubs
- Live events
- Stage effects
- Artist entrances
- Musical drops and hits
- Corporate reveals
- Awards events
- Film and television
- Broadcast entertainment
- Special-effects production
The 20-litre format provides a substantial fluid supply for professional production companies, venues, touring crews, festivals and equipment-hire businesses operating jet fog effects regularly.
Purpose-Designed Jet Fog Fluid
FLC should not be treated simply as another general-purpose fog liquid.
Its primary role is producing the distinctive short-duration fog plume required by professional jet fog machines.
A jet fog effect typically requires:
- Strong initial output
- A clearly defined plume
- Rapid atmospheric expansion
- Fast dissipation
- Quick visual reset after the cue
This behaviour makes jet machines particularly effective for synchronised stage effects where the atmospheric burst needs to appear dramatically and then disappear rather than remaining as a persistent cloud.
Typical effects include:
- Vertical fog columns
- Stage-edge fog jets
- Artist entrances
- Musical accents
- EDM drops
- Concert hits
- Reveal sequences
- Choreographed effects
- Festival stage effects
- Nightclub effects
FLC is therefore particularly useful when impact and fast disappearance are more important than long atmospheric hang time.
Fast Dissipation for Short, Powerful Effects
Persistent fog is not always desirable.
When a jet machine fires on a musical hit, production teams generally want the effect to be clearly visible at that exact moment without leaving the entire stage heavily fogged afterwards.
FLC’s rapid dissipation makes it suitable for:
- Repeated fog-jet cues
- Fast-moving concert sequences
- Closely spaced effects
- Stage entrances
- Short theatrical effects
- Camera takes
- Television performances
- Live broadcast cues
- Corporate reveals
Rapid dissipation also gives operators greater control when several effects occur throughout a show.
Actual clearing speed will still depend on:
- Venue ventilation
- HVAC
- Stage fans
- Audience movement
- Outdoor wind
- Ceiling height
- Room volume
- Number of machines
- Machine position
Always test the effect in the actual production environment.
Designed for Compatible Antari Jet Fog Machines
Antari’s current FLC product information identifies FLC specifically for jet fog machines and currently lists compatible models including:
- Antari M-9 Jet Fog Machine
- Antari M-7X Jet Fog Machine
- Antari Z-1520 Jet Fog Machine
Always check the exact machine model and current operating manual before filling the reservoir.
FLC should not be assumed to be compatible with every Antari:
- Fog machine
- Fazer
- Hazer
- Low-fog machine
- Battery fogger
- Fire-training fog machine
Antari manufactures different fluids for different machine systems and atmospheric characteristics.
Concert and Touring Applications
Jet fog has become an important effects tool across modern concert production.
A bank of jet machines positioned around a stage can create powerful vertical or angled fog plumes timed precisely with:
- Drum hits
- Bass drops
- Lighting chases
- Pyrotechnic sequences
- Artist entrances
- Chorus transitions
- Video cues
- Strobe effects
- Musical finales
Unlike long-hang atmospheric fog, the intention is usually for each burst to appear strongly and then clear.
FLC’s specialised fast-dissipating behaviour makes it suited to this style of cue-driven production.
For touring crews, always verify machine compatibility before transferring fluid between systems. A tour may carry several Antari machine types that require different fluid formulations.
Music Festivals
Festival stages often use multiple atmospheric technologies simultaneously.
A production may have:
- Fog jets
- Conventional foggers
- Hazers
- CO₂ jets
- Low-fog systems
- Pyrotechnics
- Confetti systems
Each effect performs a different role.
FLC is intended for the jet fog component of that effects package.
It can be used for coordinated effects across:
- Main stages
- Dance stages
- Electronic music festivals
- Outdoor concert stages
- Touring festival packages
- Night-time entertainment programs
Outdoor performance will depend heavily on wind.
Even a strong jet plume can move or disappear quickly in significant airflow, so machine orientation and cue timing should be tested onsite.
Nightclubs and Entertainment Venues
Jet fog machines are commonly used in entertainment environments where fast, dramatic effects need to align with music and lighting.
Potential applications include:
- Nightclubs
- DJ performances
- Live music venues
- Entertainment precincts
- Dance events
- Themed experiences
- Venue spectaculars
A rapid plume can provide a visual effect reminiscent of a CO₂ jet without requiring the same type of compressed-gas installation, depending on the machine being used.
FLC itself should not be described as CO₂ fluid or liquid CO₂.
It is a fog fluid for compatible jet fog machines that creates a CO₂-style visual effect through heated fog technology.
Film and Television Production
FLC can also be useful in film, television and broadcast where crews require short, repeatable atmospheric bursts.
Applications may include:
- Music television
- Entertainment programs
- Live broadcasts
- Award shows
- Commercial shoots
- Music videos
- Film effects
- Performer entrances
- Dramatic reveals
Fast dissipation can help where a production needs to return to a cleaner visual state between takes or segments.
For repeatability, record:
- Machine output
- Cue duration
- Machine angle
- Fan settings
- Ventilation settings
- Time between cues
- Camera exposure
- Lighting state
Fog may appear significantly denser when strongly backlit on camera.
Always test effects using the actual production camera and lighting configuration.
Theatre and Live Performance
Although jet effects are strongly associated with concerts and clubs, they can also be incorporated into theatrical production.
Potential applications include:
- Musical theatre
- Dance productions
- Stage reveals
- Fantasy effects
- Scenic transitions
- Performer entrances
- Concert-style theatre sequences
- Special-effects moments
Because FLC dissipates rapidly, a jet cue can create strong visual impact without necessarily leaving the stage covered in persistent atmosphere for the following scene.
Any atmospheric effect should be coordinated with stage management, production management and venue operations.
Corporate Events and Product Reveals
Fast atmospheric effects can add significant visual impact to corporate production.
Potential applications include:
- Vehicle reveals
- Product launches
- Awards presentations
- Conference openings
- Brand activations
- Gala events
- Exhibition presentations
- Speaker entrances
- Entertainment segments
Jet fog can be particularly effective when synchronised with:
- Moving lights
- LED content
- Audio hits
- Strobes
- Video transitions
- Countdown sequences
The rapid-clearing nature of the effect may be useful where the reveal is immediately followed by speeches, photography or video presentation.
Always obtain venue approval before operating atmospheric effects.
Why FLC Is Different from Standard Fog Fluid
Antari produces multiple fog-fluid formulations because different effects require different atmospheric behaviour.
A standard fog machine may be intended to create general stage atmosphere.
A jet fog machine is designed to create a much more concentrated, directional burst.
FLC is specifically positioned for that jet application.
For production teams, this distinction matters because the required behaviour is different:
Standard atmospheric fog:
Designed to create or maintain fog through a space.
Long-hang fog:
Designed to remain suspended for extended periods.
Fast-dissipating atmospheric fog:
Designed to clear relatively quickly.
FLC Jet Fog Fluid:
Designed specifically for compatible jet fog machines producing short, concentrated effects.
Selecting the correct fluid helps the machine create the effect it was engineered to produce.
FLC Is Not Long-Hang Fog Fluid
FLC is not intended for applications where the main objective is persistent atmospheric coverage.
For extended beam definition throughout a concert, theatre production or studio environment, another Antari formulation may be more appropriate.
FLC should be selected when the priority is:
- Short visual impact
- Concentrated fog output
- Jet-machine operation
- Rapid dissipation
- Cue-driven special effects
Do not select FLC simply because it is a fog fluid available in a convenient container size.
FLC Is Not Dedicated Haze Fluid
FLC should not be used as a substitute for Antari haze fluid.
Haze systems typically generate a much finer atmospheric effect intended for long-duration beam enhancement.
Antari maintains separate dedicated haze-fluid products for its haze machines.
Use FLC specifically with compatible jet fog equipment.
FLC Is Not Dedicated Low-Fog Fluid
FLC should also not be confused with dedicated low-fog fluid.
Ground-hugging fog generally requires:
- A specialised low-fog machine
- Cooling or temperature control
- Correct fluid
- Controlled airflow
Antari maintains separate low-fog fluid products for compatible low-fog systems.
FLC is designed for jet fog effects, not persistent floor-hugging fog.
Water and Propylene Glycol Formulation
Antari’s current Safety Data Sheet covering FLC identifies the formulation as a mixture containing:
Water: 50–60%
Propylene Glycol: 40–50%
The SDS chemically characterises the formulation as a mixture of higher polyalcohols.
No hazardous ingredients are identified in the disclosed formulation.
The physical fluid is listed as transparent.
This provides a clear and technically defensible description of the product without relying on broad marketing claims about toxicity, environmental impact or human contact.
Current Safety Classification
According to Antari’s current Safety Data Sheet, FLC is not classified under the referenced CLP Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008.
The SDS states:
- No hazard labelling is required under that classification
- No other hazards are identified
- No hazardous ingredients are identified in the disclosed formulation
Normal professional handling and workplace procedures should still be followed.
Handling and Personal Protection
Antari’s current SDS recommends good hygiene and safety practices when handling FLC.
Guidance includes:
- Keep out of reach of children
- Store in a closed container
- Keep in a cool, dry place
- Avoid extremely hot or cold temperatures
- Safety glasses are recommended
- Rubber gloves are recommended where constant skin contact occurs
- Maintain good ventilation
- Wash hands after handling
- Do not eat or drink while handling fluid
Respiratory protection is not normally required where good ventilation is maintained.
Always refer to the current manufacturer SDS and relevant workplace procedures.
Odour Claims
The current Antari SDS states that odour information is not available for FLC.
For that reason, it is better not to make a blanket claim that FLC is completely odourless.
The perceived smell of atmospheric effects may also depend on:
- Machine temperature
- Output concentration
- Ventilation
- Room volume
- Individual sensitivity
Use jet fog effects in appropriately ventilated spaces and in accordance with venue procedures.
Flammability Wording
The current Antari SDS does not provide a general flammability classification for FLC and lists a 94°C open-cup flash point.
For that reason, avoid marketing the product simply as “non-flammable.”
Follow the SDS and equipment instructions for handling and storage.
Environmental Claims
Avoid broad claims such as “eco-friendly” unless they are supported by a specific current environmental certification.
Antari’s current FLC SDS states that:
- No additional ecological toxicity information is provided
- Persistence and degradability data is unavailable
- Bioaccumulation data is unavailable
A more accurate description is:
Professional Antari jet fog fluid formulated for compatible entertainment and special-effects equipment.
Fog Machine Compatibility Matters
The current Antari FLC page is very clear that FLC is:
Jet Fog Fluid for Jet Fog Machine Use Only.
For that reason, compatibility should be treated much more narrowly than the generic phrase “suitable for most fog machines”.
Before use:
- Identify the exact machine model.
- Check the current Antari operating manual.
- Confirm FLC is listed as the approved fluid.
- Check the machine reservoir and fluid requirements.
- Follow the manufacturer’s operating instructions.
Do not mix fluids between machines simply because they are all manufactured by Antari.
Do Not Mix or Modify FLC
Do not add:
- Water
- Fragrances
- Dyes
- Oils
- Cleaning agents
- Other fog fluids
unless expressly approved by the machine manufacturer.
Changing the formulation can alter:
- Jet height
- Fog density
- Dissipation
- Heater performance
- Pump behaviour
- Overall machine reliability
When changing fluids or preparing equipment for storage, follow the machine manufacturer’s recommended cleaning procedure.
Smoke Detection and Venue Approval
Artificial fog may activate smoke detectors and other fire-management systems.
Before operating jet fog effects, confirm:
- Venue approval
- Fire-system requirements
- Detector-management procedures
- Fire warden arrangements
- Emergency procedures
- Ventilation
- Local venue rules
Never cover, isolate or disable smoke detection without proper authorisation and an approved procedure.
Atmospheric effects should be incorporated into relevant production risk assessments and event documentation.
Audience and Performer Considerations
Jet fog machines produce concentrated output and should always be installed and operated according to the manufacturer’s safety instructions.
Production teams should consider:
- Machine placement
- Output direction
- Performer positions
- Audience distance
- Sightlines
- Hot surfaces and machine components
- Nearby equipment
- Stage access
- Cue timing
The machine—not merely the fluid—determines the safe operating distances and installation requirements.
Never aim or position equipment contrary to its operating manual.
Outdoor Use
Jet fog effects are heavily influenced by wind.
Outdoor factors include:
- Wind speed
- Wind direction
- Stage orientation
- Machine position
- Temperature
- Nearby structures
The plume may behave very differently between rehearsal and performance if conditions change.
Test the effect under representative weather conditions and monitor conditions throughout the event.
Use appropriately rated equipment when machines may be exposed to weather.
20-Litre Format for Production and Hire Companies
The GigLife FLC20 format provides 20 litres of FLC fluid, making it particularly useful for professional users consuming significant quantities across multiple shows or machines.
Potential users include:
- Touring companies
- Production suppliers
- Festivals
- Large venues
- Nightclubs
- AV companies
- Equipment-hire businesses
- Film and television departments
- Entertainment attractions
Bulk fluid can simplify stock management where compatible jet machines are in frequent use.
Keep the container clearly labelled and avoid transferring FLC into unmarked containers.
Handling a 20-Litre Container
A full 20-litre fluid container is considerably heavier and more awkward than a small bottle.
Consider appropriate manual-handling procedures when:
- Moving warehouse stock
- Loading touring vehicles
- Carrying fluid backstage
- Refilling machines
- Transferring fluid
- Storing containers
Where practical, use clean transfer equipment rather than trying to pour directly from a full 20-litre container into a small reservoir.
Any pump, funnel or transfer hose should be clean and dedicated to the correct fluid type to minimise contamination.
Storage
Store FLC in a securely closed container in a cool, dry location.
Good professional fluid management includes:
- Retaining the original label
- Keeping containers closed
- Preventing dirt and contamination
- Separating different fog-fluid formulations
- Keeping transfer equipment clean
- Avoiding extreme hot or cold temperatures
- Cleaning spills promptly
- Protecting fluid during transport
- Restricting access where appropriate
Do not return contaminated or recovered fluid to the original container.
