The CONCEPT SMOKE OIL 180 is a pharmaceutical-grade, oil-based fog fluid designed for use in specialized smoke machines, particularly those manufactured by Concept Smoke Systems. It is a highly pure, non-toxic, and intrinsically biodegradable product.

Key Features

• High Temperature Resistance: A defining feature of Smoke Oil 180 is its resistance to high temperatures, up to 200°C. This makes it a preferred choice for applications like hot fire training facilities, where the smoke needs to remain stable and visible in elevated temperatures.
• Persistence: The smoke produced by this oil is extremely persistent and has a long "hang time," meaning it lingers in the air for a significant period. This makes it ideal for large-scale smoke logging, leak testing in buildings and aircraft, and other applications where a sustained, dense smoke effect is required.
• Particle Size: It produces an ultra-fine particle size, typically around 0.2 to 0.3 microns. This small particle size is highly effective for visualizing airflow and leaks, and it requires less fluid to create a dense smoke concentration compared to other types of smoke fluids.
• Safety: The fluid is a pharmaceutical-grade white mineral oil. It is non-toxic and has been tested by independent bodies for safety. The resulting smoke is considered safe for use in various environments, and the product itself does not require a hazard warning label under regulations like CLP Regulation 1272/2008/EC.
• Biodegradable: Concept Smoke Oil 180 is an intrinsically biodegradable product, which is a benefit for environmental and cleanup considerations.

Applications

• Hot Fire Training: Its temperature resistance makes it a standard for fire brigades and training centers.
• Leak Testing and Building Envelope Testing: The persistent, fine-particle smoke is excellent for identifying leaks in building envelopes, ductwork, and other enclosed spaces.
• Large-Volume Smoke Logging: Due to its persistence, it can fill massive volumes with dense smoke efficiently, making it suitable for testing large structures like road tunnels or aircraft hangars.
• Military and Maritime Training: Used in military and naval exercises for simulating smoke conditions.
• Other Industrial Uses: It has been used in applications demanding high oil purity, such as in the pharmaceutical, food, cosmetic, and plastics industries.
