Antari - FLG5 - Regular Fog Fluid - 5 Litre

Antari FLG5 Professional Fog Fluid – 5 Litre

Create consistent, professional atmospheric effects with Antari FLG5 Fog Fluid – 5 Litre, a premium water-based fog liquid designed for entertainment, theatre, touring, live events, film, television, broadcast and professional AV production.

FLG is Antari’s versatile regular-density, regular-dissipating fog fluid, providing a balanced atmospheric effect that sits between extremely fast-dissipating effects and very dense, long-hang fog formulations.

That balance makes FLG an excellent everyday fog fluid for production environments where technicians need visible atmospheric depth without necessarily filling the room with an extremely persistent cloud.

Use it to enhance stage lighting, reveal beams, add atmosphere to theatrical scenes, create dramatic entrances, support special effects or build greater visual depth across concerts, festivals, studios and live productions.

Supplied in a professional 5-litre container, FLG5 is a practical size for venues, production companies, theatres, schools, touring crews, film and television departments and equipment-hire companies that regularly operate compatible Antari fog machines.

Regular Density. Regular Dissipation. Professional Results.

Antari currently classifies FLG as its Regular Dense & Regular Dissipating Fog Fluid.

This makes FLG particularly useful as a general-purpose professional atmospheric fluid.

Rather than being designed specifically for an extremely short burst or an exceptionally long-lasting cloud, FLG offers a balanced fog characteristic suitable for a broad variety of shows and production environments.

Potential uses include:

• Concert atmospheric effects
• Theatre productions
• Musical theatre
• Live entertainment
• Corporate events
• Festivals
• Touring productions
• Film and television
• Broadcast studios
• Photography
• Nightclubs
• School productions
• Performing arts centres
• Exhibitions
• Immersive experiences
• Special-effects installations

This versatility makes FLG a strong option for venues and production companies looking for an everyday professional fog fluid rather than a highly specialised effect formula.

Enhance Stage Lighting and Beam Effects

Atmospheric effects are an important part of professional lighting design.

Adding a controlled amount of fog into the air allows light to interact with suspended particles, helping make beams and aerial effects visible throughout the performance space.

FLG can help enhance:

• Moving-head beams
• Profile fixtures
• Wash lighting
• Backlighting
• Side lighting
• Laser effects
• Gobos
• Lighting fans
• Colour effects
• Scenic lighting
• Architectural lighting
• Concert looks

Without atmospheric particles, audiences generally see the illuminated surface at the end of a beam rather than the beam travelling through the air.

Adding controlled fog allows designers to reveal that light path, creating depth and movement across the stage or venue.

The required amount of fog will depend on the room size, ventilation, air-conditioning, audience movement, effect equipment and lighting design.

Designed for Theatre and Stage Productions

Fog has been part of theatrical lighting and special-effects design for decades.

Antari FLG5 can be used with compatible equipment to help create atmospheric effects for:

• Plays
• Musicals
• Dance productions
• Ballet
• Opera
• Immersive theatre
• School productions
• Community theatre
• Performing arts performances
• Theatrical special effects

Depending on the scene, fog may be used subtly to reveal lighting beams or more heavily to create a deliberately visible atmospheric effect.

Because FLG offers a balanced density and dissipation characteristic, it can be a useful general-purpose choice for venues running multiple types of productions throughout the year.

Lighting departments should always coordinate atmospheric effects with stage management, production management and venue operations.

Concerts, Touring and Live Events

Touring lighting systems frequently rely on atmospheric effects to give lighting fixtures greater visual impact.

FLG may be suitable for compatible fog equipment used across:

• Concert tours
• Music festivals
• Club shows
• Corporate events
• Awards nights
• Product launches
• Live broadcasts
• Outdoor stages
• Indoor arenas
• Entertainment venues

Atmospherics can give lighting designers greater control over the perceived depth of a stage by allowing beams, colour and movement to become part of the visual environment rather than simply illuminating performers and scenery.

For touring applications, always ensure the venue has approved atmospheric effects before operation.

Film and Television Production

Atmospheric effects are also widely used across film, television and content production.

Antari FLG can support compatible fog machines used for:

• Film sets
• Television studios
• Music videos
• Commercial shoots
• Broadcast productions
• Photography
• Scenic atmospheres
• Backlighting effects
• Visible light rays
• Simulated environmental effects
• Dramatic entrances and reveals

Fog can add depth between foreground and background elements and help lighting departments create visible shafts of light through windows, doorways or scenic elements.

The amount of atmosphere required for camera work may differ significantly from that required for a live audience. Camera exposure, lens choice, focal length, lighting position and ventilation can all influence how strongly the fog appears on screen.

Always conduct camera and lighting tests before relying on a specific atmospheric density for a critical shot.

Water-Based Professional Fog Fluid

Antari’s professional fog fluids use a water-based formulation designed for use in compatible theatrical and special-effects fog machines.

Antari states that its premium fog fluids are formulated to avoid the oily residue associated with oil-based atmospheric fluids and are designed to support the longevity and reliability of compatible machines.

Using the correct manufacturer-recommended fluid is particularly important in professional production environments.

Incorrect or poor-quality fluid can potentially contribute to:

• Poor fog output
• Inconsistent performance
• Residue
• Heater-block contamination
• Pump problems
• Unwanted odours
• Reduced machine reliability
• Additional servicing requirements

For professional equipment, always follow the fog-machine manufacturer’s fluid recommendations.

Formulated for Antari Fog Machines

FLG is an Antari fog fluid designed for use with compatible Antari fog machines and atmospheric-effect equipment.

Antari currently lists FLG among the compatible fluids for professional machines including models such as the F-1 Fazer.

Compatibility varies between machines, particularly across specialised jet, low-fog, fire-training and battery-operated models.

Always check the operating manual or Antari compatibility information for the exact machine before filling the reservoir.

Do not assume that every Antari atmospheric-effect machine uses FLG simply because it carries the Antari brand.

Antari produces several specialised fluids including formulations for:

• Fog machines
• Fazers
• Jet fog machines
• Low-fog machines
• Fire-training machines
• Haze machines
• Battery-operated effects

Using the correct fluid helps the machine produce the atmospheric effect it was designed to create.

Do Not Mix Different Fog Fluids

Avoid mixing different fog-fluid formulations unless the equipment manufacturer specifically approves it.

Different formulas may be designed around different:

• Density characteristics
• Dissipation rates
• Heater temperatures
• Pump systems
• Effect types
• Fluid consumption requirements

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

Do not dilute Antari FLG with water or add dyes, fragrances, oils or other chemicals unless expressly approved by Antari for the machine being used.

Changing the formulation can affect both the atmospheric result and equipment performance.

Not the Same as Haze Fluid

Fog and haze are related atmospheric effects, but the terms should not automatically be treated as interchangeable.

Fog machines generally produce a more visible plume or cloud that spreads throughout the environment.

Dedicated haze machines typically create a much finer atmospheric effect intended to remain comparatively subtle while revealing lighting beams.

Antari manufactures separate haze-fluid ranges for dedicated haze equipment.

Always use the fluid specified for the machine rather than substituting fog and haze liquids based solely on appearance.

FLG Is Not Specifically a Low-Fog Fluid

FLG should also not be confused with Antari’s dedicated low-fog fluids.

Creating a true low-lying or ground-hugging fog effect generally depends on the complete system—including the fog machine, cooling process and compatible fluid—not simply on pouring a particular standard fog liquid into an ordinary machine.

Antari manufactures specialised low-fog machines and corresponding fluid products for those applications.

FLG is best described as a versatile professional fog fluid with regular density and regular dissipation, rather than as a dedicated low-lying fog fluid.

Atmospheric Effects for Schools and Performing Arts Centres

FLG5 is also well suited to schools, universities and performing arts centres operating compatible Antari fog machines.

Potential uses include:

• School musicals
• Drama productions
• Dance concerts
• Performing arts showcases
• Theatre classes
• Technical-production training
• Graduation performances
• Concerts
• Awards events
• School festivals

Atmospheric effects should always be operated under appropriate supervision and in accordance with the venue’s risk assessment, operating procedures and equipment instructions.

Schools should also consider fire-detection systems, ventilation and audience requirements before using fog.

Conference and Exhibition Applications

Professional atmospheric effects can also be used across corporate and exhibition environments.

Potential applications include:

• Product launches
• Vehicle reveals
• Awards presentations
• Brand activations
• Exhibition demonstrations
• Conference opening sequences
• Stage entrances
• Lighting demonstrations
• Immersive installations
• Special-effects displays

A controlled fog burst combined with lighting can create a powerful visual reveal, particularly where moving lights, lasers or video content form part of the production design.

Always coordinate atmospheric effects with the venue and event-production team before operation.

Consider Smoke Detection and Venue Requirements

Artificial theatrical fog can activate some smoke-detection and fire-detection systems.

Before using atmospheric effects, production teams should confirm:

• Venue approval
• Fire-system requirements
• Detector isolation procedures where legally permitted
• Fire warden requirements
• Ventilation conditions
• Emergency procedures
• Local rules and regulations

Never disable, cover or interfere with a smoke detector without the appropriate venue authorisation and approved procedure.

For festivals, theatres, schools, conference centres and temporary venues, atmospheric effects should be included within the relevant production and safety planning.

Ventilation and Atmospheric Control

More fog is not always better.

The best atmospheric effect is usually achieved by balancing machine output with the natural air movement within the room.

Factors that influence the result include:

• HVAC systems
• Open doors
• Outdoor wind
• Stage fans
• Audience movement
• Venue volume
• Ceiling height
• Temperature
• Machine location
• Output direction

Lighting departments may need to adjust output throughout a performance as venue conditions change.

In film and television environments, consistency between takes may also require careful management of ventilation and fog-machine timing.

Safety Information

Antari’s current Safety Data Sheet covers the FLG fog-fluid family and identifies the product for artificial theatrical fog, special-effects use, immersive training and leak-detection applications.

The SDS describes the fluid as a water/polyol mixture and states that it is not classified under the referenced CLP hazardous-mixture regulation, with no hazard labelling required under that classification.

As with any production chemical or fluid:

• Read the current SDS before professional use
• Keep the container labelled
• Store away from unauthorised access
• Avoid unnecessary eye contact
• Clean spills promptly
• Follow the machine manufacturer’s instructions
• Keep the product in its original container where practical
• Do not ingest
• Maintain appropriate workplace handling procedures

The current Antari SDS should form part of production documentation where chemical or atmospheric-effect information is required.

Storage and Handling

Store FLG5 in a clean, dry location and keep the container securely closed when it is not being used.

Good fluid management includes:

• Keeping the cap securely fitted
• Preventing dirt from entering the container
• Avoiding cross-contamination with other fluids
• Keeping filling equipment clean
• Clearly identifying partially used containers
• Following FIFO stock rotation
• Protecting containers during transport
• Cleaning spills promptly

Contaminated fog fluid should not be returned to the original container.

Professional production companies should consider carrying spare sealed fluid on critical shows rather than relying on a single partially used container.
