Arias Tech Security Fog Technology

Jan 23, 2008 10:00 AM

FlashFog by Arias Tech Ltd. stops intruders and criminals by blocking all visibility through a combination of fog and light. The fog fills any room in about 20 seconds and is reinforced with a bright security strobe that pulsates 12 times per second. The fog is produced by forcing a glycol and water mixture through a heated block assembly. When the glycol fluid passes through the heat exchanger, it is broken down into droplets, which then create a rapidly dispersing vapor cloud. According to the supplier, the fog is safe to breathe and consists of food-grade ingredients. The vapor lasts 45 minutes and then evaporates with no residue. Light is supplied by a 1,500-watt Xenon strobe light that makes the fog glow. The light frequency was chosen because it never lets an intruder’s eyes adjust. The fog can be deployed as a primary detection method or a last line of defense in secure environments. Possible applications include nuclear facilities, medical research centers, data and document protection, arsenals, research labs and warehouses. Visit flashfogsecurity.com.
