Approved fluid types 

 

 

Approved fluid types 

The following types of Martin fog fluid are approved for use in this machine. 
Each produces a different effect as described below. Martin supplies high 
quality fog fluids that are based on ultra-pure deionized water. Use only the 
following genuine Martin fog fluids. No other fluid is suitable for use. 

P r o   S m o k e   S u p e r   ( Z R   m i x )  

Pro Smoke Super fluid is a high-quality, general purpose fluid that produces a 
dense white airborne fog with medium dispersal time. Its medium to high index 
of refraction permits both good atmospheric effects and denser “white-outs”.  

P r o   S m o k e   H i g h   D e n s i t y  ( S P   m i x )  

Pro Smoke High Density fluid generates a high density, white, airborne fog with 
a very high index of refraction and slow evaporation rate. It is well suited for 
scenic obscuring, dramatic strobe effects, and “white-outs”. 

P r o   S m o k e   S t u d i o   ( D X   m i x )  

In a studio or theater environment, a lighter, faster dispersing fog is often 
preferred. Pro-Smoke Studio offers a less dense environment to Pro-Smoke 
Super and is therefore less likely to interfere with TV camera focusing. 

i - f o g  

i-fog is not only kind to your lights, but is also more economical to use thanks to 
its incredible long “hang time” characteristics. In environments unaffected by 
extraction and air-conditioning, i-fog can be expected to last 

P r o   S t e a m   S i m u l a t i o n  

Steam simulation fluid specifically designed for ‘steam’ effects. Creates a white 

burst, but is fast dispersing.  

(In order to optimise the machines temperature setting the dip switch on the 

rear marked ‘Low Temp’ should be set down to position 1).

™ 

RUSH Fog Fluid™ is a specially formulated water-based fog formula and is 
recommended for use with applicable Martin fog effect generators. While 

economical it is perfect for medium-density airborne fog effects with medium 
hang time and leaves no residue; RUSH Fog Fluid™ is designed as an economy 
fluid that is suitable for use in nightclubs, bars, stage and outdoor events.  
 *

Please note that use of RUSH Fog Fluid

 in a JEM

 series fog machine will produce a 

less than expected professional quality effect due to the nature of using an entry level fog 

effect fluid. 

 

 

DANGER! The fog machine can run safely only on the specific fog fluids it 
is designed for. Use ONLY the Martin fog fluids designated in this manual. 
NEVER use any other type of fluid, or toxic gas may be produced. You will 
probably also cause damage to the system that is not covered by the 
product warranty. Do not dilute fog fluid with water or any other liquid. 
Discard fog fluid if it becomes contaminated.
