Antari - FLY1 - Extremely Dense & Extremely Long Lasting Fog Fluid - 1 Litre

Antari FLY1 Extremely Dense Long Hang Fog Fluid – 1 Litre

Create exceptionally dense, persistent atmospheric effects with Antari FLY1 Extremely Dense & Extremely Long Lasting Fog Fluid – 1 Litre, a professional fog liquid developed for compatible Antari fog and atmospheric-effects machines.

FLY is positioned by Antari as an extremely dense, extremely long-lasting fog fluid, making it ideal for productions where strong atmospheric density and extended hang time are key parts of the creative effect.

Rather than disappearing quickly after output, FLY is designed to maintain atmosphere for longer, helping lighting designers, effects operators and production teams create rich scenic depth, strong beam definition and dramatic fog environments.

The compact 1-litre FLY1 format is particularly useful for:

• Theatre productions
• Concerts and touring
• Film and television
• Broadcast studios
• Photography
• Live events
• Festivals
• Clubs and entertainment venues
• Schools and performing arts centres
• AV companies
• Special-effects departments
• Production companies

It is also a practical size for technicians who want to test or carry a specialised long-hang fluid without purchasing a larger bulk container.

Extremely Dense. Extremely Long Lasting.

Antari currently identifies FLY as:

Extremely Dense & Extremely Long Lasting Fog Fluid.

That positioning sets FLY apart from general-purpose and fast-dissipating fog liquids.

FLY is intended for applications where the atmospheric effect itself needs to remain strong and persistent.

Potential applications include:

• Long-duration stage atmosphere
• Strong concert beam effects
• Dramatic theatrical fog
• Persistent scenic environments
• Film and television effects
• Backlighting
• Laser enhancement
• Music-video production
• Photography
• Immersive installations
• Special-effects sequences
• Large visual reveals

Actual fog persistence will always vary according to the environment.

Air-conditioning, open doors, mechanical ventilation, outdoor wind, audience movement, stage fans, venue volume and ceiling height can all significantly affect the real-world hang time of any fog fluid.

Designed for Strong Atmospheric Presence

FLY is particularly useful when a production calls for atmosphere that remains visibly present rather than disappearing rapidly.

A long-lasting fog characteristic can help create:

• Greater scenic depth
• Sustained silhouettes
• Stronger backlighting
• Persistent lighting-beam visibility
• More consistent atmosphere during longer scenes
• Richer immersive environments
• Dramatic entrances and reveals
• Extended special-effects sequences

Because FLY remains suspended for longer, output should be managed carefully.

A relatively small amount of persistent fluid may achieve the required visual result in a still indoor venue.

Start with conservative machine output, assess the atmosphere and gradually increase as required.

Lighting Beam Enhancement

Atmospheric fog allows audiences and cameras to see light travelling through the air.

Without suspended particles, a lighting fixture may illuminate a performer, scenic surface or floor without revealing the complete beam.

Adding controlled atmosphere can make effects from professional lighting fixtures significantly more visible.

FLY may be used to enhance:

• Moving-head beam fixtures
• Spot fixtures
• Profiles
• Wash lights
• Gobos
• Lasers
• Backlighting
• Side lighting
• Lighting fans
• Colour effects
• Scenic shafts of light
• Architectural lighting
• Concert effects

Its extended atmospheric persistence can be especially useful when the lighting designer wants consistent beam visibility over longer sequences.

Theatre and Performing Arts

FLY can be a strong choice for theatrical productions where dense or persistent atmosphere is part of the design.

Potential applications include:

• Plays
• Musical theatre
• Opera
• Dance
• Ballet
• Immersive theatre
• Touring theatre
• Scenic effects
• Fantasy sequences
• Dream scenes
• Dramatic entrances
• Lighting enhancement
• School productions

In some theatrical applications, the fog itself is meant to be clearly visible.

In others, only a subtle suspended atmosphere may be required to reveal stage lighting.

Because FLY is deliberately long lasting, lighting and effects departments should take care not to overfill the venue early in the performance.

Atmospheric effects should always be coordinated with stage management, production management and venue operations.

Concerts, Touring and Live Music

Professional concert lighting frequently relies on atmospheric effects to create visible beam structures and visual depth.

FLY may be suitable for:

• Concert touring
• Music festivals
• Club performances
• Theatre tours
• Arena shows
• Live television
• Awards events
• Artist showcases
• Large entertainment productions

A persistent atmospheric layer can give moving lights, beam fixtures and lasers a much stronger visual presence.

Because FLY hangs for longer, touring operators should adjust machine output to each venue rather than assuming that settings from the previous show will produce the same result.

A venue with strong HVAC may require very different output from a small theatre with limited airflow.

Film and Television Production

Persistent atmospheric fog is widely used in film and television to create visual depth and visible lighting effects.

Potential applications include:

• Feature films
• Television drama
• Commercial shoots
• Music videos
• Broadcast studios
• Streaming productions
• Photography
• Backlighting effects
• Scenic environments
• Window-light effects
• Dramatic reveals
• Simulated environmental conditions

Fog can separate foreground subjects from backgrounds and make light passing through windows, doors or scenic structures visible to camera.

FLY’s long-lasting characteristic can help maintain atmosphere during extended takes, but it can also require additional reset time when a scene needs to return to a clean-air state.

For camera production, always test the fluid under the actual:

• Cameras
• Lenses
• Exposure settings
• Lighting angles
• Backlighting
• Ventilation conditions

A density that looks subtle to the eye can appear much stronger on camera.

Film and TV Continuity

Long-hang fluid requires careful continuity management.

For repeated takes, consider recording:

• Fog-machine output percentage
• Duration of each fog cue
• Time between output and recording
• Fan settings
• HVAC settings
• Door positions
• Camera exposure
• Background density

Because FLY is intentionally persistent, introducing too much atmosphere can make it difficult to return quickly to a previous visual state.

Gradual controlled output is generally easier to manage than trying to remove excess atmosphere.

Small 1-Litre Format

FLY1 provides the specialised FLY formulation in a convenient 1-litre bottle.

This size is useful for:

• Smaller venues
• Occasional productions
• Film and TV effects kits
• Touring spares
• Production testing
• Schools
• Photography studios
• Technicians carrying multiple fluid types
• Low-consumption applications

It also allows production teams to keep a specialised dense long-hang formulation available without carrying a large 20-litre container when it is not required.

For higher-use venues and touring productions, monitor anticipated consumption and carry sufficient fluid for the complete event.

Current Antari Fluid Classification

Antari manufactures different fog fluids because productions require very different atmospheric behaviour.

Current Antari machine specifications distinguish between formulations such as:

FLG – Regular Dense & Regular Dissipating
FLH – Extremely Thin & Fast Dissipating
FLR – Extra Dense & Extremely Fast Dissipating
FLY – Extremely Dense & Extremely Long Lasting
FLZ – Super Dense & Super Long Lasting

Selecting the appropriate formulation allows the production team to match the fluid to the creative requirement rather than treating all fog liquids as interchangeable.

FLY Versus Regular FLG Fog Fluid

FLG is Antari’s balanced general-purpose formulation.

FLY is positioned much further towards dense and persistent atmosphere.

Choose FLG where the requirement is:

• General-purpose fog
• Regular density
• Regular dissipation
• Everyday venue use

Choose FLY where the requirement is:

• Extremely dense atmosphere
• Extremely long persistence
• Strong scenic fog
• Extended lighting-beam definition
• Long-duration visual effects

The best product depends on the required effect rather than simply choosing the densest fluid available.

FLY Versus Fast-Dissipating FLR

FLR and FLY perform very different creative roles.

FLR is extra dense but extremely fast dissipating.

FLY is extremely dense and extremely long lasting.

FLR is therefore more appropriate for applications including:

• Fast scene resets
• Short dramatic bursts
• Individual concert hits
• Camera effects that need to clear rapidly

FLY is better suited where the creative requirement includes:

• Persistent atmospheric coverage
• Long scenic sequences
• Extended beam visibility
• Rich, sustained fog environments

Understanding dissipation characteristics can make atmospheric effects far easier to control.

FLY Versus FLZ Long-Hang Fluid

Both FLY and FLZ are positioned by Antari as dense long-lasting formulations.

Antari currently describes:

FLY: Extremely Dense & Extremely Long Lasting
FLZ: Super Dense & Super Long Lasting

Both are designed around persistent atmosphere rather than rapid dissipation.

Machine compatibility should be checked carefully because not every Antari fog machine supports every fluid formulation.

Select the fluid listed by Antari for the exact machine and required effect.

Compatible Antari Equipment

Antari currently lists FLY as a compatible fluid across several professional fog and fazer systems.

Examples include:

• Antari F-1 Fazer
• Antari IP-1600
• Antari IP-3000
• Antari Z-3000III
• Other professional Antari machines specifically listing FLY

Compatibility must still be checked model by model.

Some machines have additional restrictions.

For example, Antari currently specifies that FLY compatibility with the F-1 Fazer applies only to machines manufactured after May 2020.

Before filling a machine:

1. Confirm the exact model.
2. Check the machine manufacture date where relevant.
3. Review the operating manual.
4. Confirm FLY is listed as a compatible fluid.
5. Follow Antari’s fluid and machine instructions.

This is especially important with older hire inventory.

Use Manufacturer-Compatible Fog Fluid

Professional fog machines are engineered around a relationship between:

• Heater temperature
• Fluid formulation
• Pump rate
• Vaporisation
• Nozzle design
• Output characteristics

Using the appropriate fluid helps the machine produce the intended atmospheric effect.

Do not assume any generic fog liquid will behave the same way.

For professional equipment, fluid selection should be treated as part of the complete atmospheric-effects system.

Current FLY Formulation

Antari’s current Safety Data Sheet covering FLY identifies the formulation as a mixture of higher polyalcohols.

The SDS lists approximately:

Water: 52–57%
Propylene glycol: 38–41%
Glycerol: 6–8%

The physical liquid is described as yellow/transparent, with a specific smell and a pH of approximately 5.5–6.5.

The yellow colour refers to the liquid formulation inside the bottle.

It does not mean that the machine produces yellow-coloured fog.

Current Safety Classification

Antari’s current Safety Data Sheet states that the FLY formulation is not classified according to the referenced CLP regulation and requires no hazard labelling under that classification.

The SDS also states that no hazardous ingredients are identified within the supplied formulation information.

That is a more precise way to describe the product than broad claims such as “non-toxic” or “safe for human contact”.

Normal professional handling practices should still be followed.

Handling and Personal Protection

Antari’s current SDS recommends good hygiene and safety practices when handling the fluid.

Guidance includes:

• Keep out of reach of children
• Store in a closed container
• Keep in a cool, dry location
• Avoid extremely hot or cold temperatures
• Use safety glasses during handling
• Use rubber gloves where constant skin contact occurs
• Maintain good ventilation
• Wash hands after handling
• Do not eat or drink while handling the product

Respiratory protection is not normally required where good ventilation is maintained.

Always follow the current SDS and relevant workplace procedures.

Avoid Unnecessary Contact

Although Antari’s current SDS does not classify the mixture for skin or eye irritation, normal chemical-handling practices still apply.

For eye contact, the SDS advises flushing with cool water and seeking medical attention if irritation develops or persists.

For skin contact, wash with soap and water and seek medical advice if irritation continues.

For ingestion, do not induce vomiting and obtain medical attention.

Keep professional atmospheric fluids clearly labelled and stored away from drinks, food products and unauthorised personnel.

Odour Information

The current GigLife listing describes FLY as odourless.

Antari’s current SDS instead describes the product as having a “Specific Smell.”

For that reason, the product should not be marketed as completely odourless.

Perception of smell may vary with:

• Fluid concentration
• Machine output
• Ventilation
• Venue volume
• Individual sensitivity

Use atmospheric effects in appropriately ventilated environments and follow venue procedures.

Flammability Wording

The current Antari SDS does not provide a general flammability classification for the liquid and lists a 95°C open-cup flash point.

For that reason, it is better not to market FLY with a blanket “non-flammable” claim.

Keep the container appropriately stored and follow the machine and SDS instructions.

Not Dedicated Low-Fog Fluid

FLY is extremely dense and long lasting, but that does not make it a dedicated low-lying fog fluid.

True ground-hugging fog generally depends on specialised equipment, cooling and appropriate fluid.

Antari maintains a separate category for dedicated low-fog fluid.

FLY is best described as a dense, persistent atmospheric fog fluid.

Fog Fluid Is Not Haze Fluid

Fog and haze are related atmospheric effects, but they are not interchangeable in every machine.

Dedicated haze equipment generally creates a finer atmospheric distribution designed primarily for subtle beam enhancement.

FLY is professional fog fluid.

Use it only where the specific fog or fazer machine lists FLY as compatible.

Smoke Detection and Venue Approval

Theatrical fog may activate smoke-detection or fire-management systems.

Before operating atmospheric effects, establish:

• Venue approval
• Fire-system requirements
• Detector-management procedures
• Fire warden arrangements
• Ventilation requirements
• Emergency procedures
• Local venue policies

Never cover, isolate or disable a smoke detector without proper authorisation and an approved process.

Atmospheric effects should be incorporated into relevant production risk assessments and operational planning.

Managing Long-Lasting Atmosphere

FLY is specifically designed to remain present for a long period, so careful output control is important.

Factors influencing atmospheric behaviour include:

• Venue size
• Ceiling height
• HVAC
• Mechanical ventilation
• Open doors
• Stage fans
• Audience movement
• Machine position
• Number of fog machines
• Output direction

In a small still theatre, atmosphere may build quickly and remain present for an extended period.

A large venue with strong ventilation may require more frequent output.

Test the effect under actual production conditions.

Outdoor Applications

Long-hang fluid can still disperse rapidly outdoors.

Wind remains one of the strongest influences on atmospheric effects.

Consider:

• Wind direction
• Wind speed
• Machine positioning
• Stage orientation
• Temperature
• Humidity
• Nearby structures

Even an extremely long-lasting formulation cannot maintain a stationary atmosphere in strong wind.

Use appropriately weather-rated equipment where machines are exposed to outdoor conditions.

Schools and Performing Arts Centres

FLY1 can also be useful for schools, universities and performing arts centres operating compatible Antari equipment.

Potential applications include:

• School musicals
• Drama productions
• Dance concerts
• Lighting demonstrations
• Technical-production training
• Performing arts showcases
• Concerts
• Awards events

Atmospheric effects should be operated by appropriately trained personnel and used in accordance with venue, school and equipment procedures.

Smoke detection, ventilation and audience requirements should be considered before use.

Conference, Exhibition and Corporate Events

Persistent fog can create powerful lighting and reveal effects in corporate and exhibition production.

Applications may include:

• Product launches
• Vehicle reveals
• Awards presentations
• Conference openings
• Exhibition demonstrations
• Brand activations
• Stage entrances
• Immersive installations
• Lighting demonstrations

Because FLY hangs for a long period, event teams should consider whether the atmosphere needs to clear shortly after the effect.

A fast-dissipating formulation may be better where projection, presentations or photography immediately follow a reveal.

Do Not Mix or Modify Fog Fluid

Do not mix FLY with different fog-fluid formulations unless specifically approved by Antari.

Do not add:

• Water
• Fragrances
• Dyes
• Oils
• Cleaning agents
• Other fog fluids

Modifying the formulation can affect both machine operation and atmospheric performance.

When changing between fluid types, follow the manufacturer’s cleaning or changeover procedure.

Storage

Keep FLY1 in its original labelled bottle where practical and securely close the cap after use.

Good professional storage practice includes:

• Keeping the fluid clean
• Avoiding cross-contamination
• Storing in a cool, dry area
• Avoiding extreme temperatures
• Keeping transfer equipment clean
• Separating different formulations
• Cleaning spills promptly
• Keeping the product away from children and unauthorised users

Do not return contaminated or recovered fluid to the original bottle.
