A specific type of refined petroleum distillate, commonly referred to as “fog juice,” is essential for creating the atmospheric effects produced by fog machines. This fluid, typically composed of a base of this distillate, vaporizes when heated and then condenses upon contact with cooler air, forming a visible mist.
This specialized fluid plays a crucial role in various entertainment applications, from theatrical productions and concerts to themed parties and haunted houses. Its ability to create a safe, temporary, and visually appealing fog enhances ambiance and adds a dramatic element to performances and events. Historically, various substances, some with safety concerns, were used to generate theatrical fog. The development and widespread adoption of this particular fluid marked a significant advancement in creating safe and effective special effects.
