Security smoke is a thermally generated white smoke. Otherwise known as ‘security fog’ or ‘smoke screen’, the smoke is breathable, used primarily as a deterrent as opposed to an actual defence.

The smoke is composed of particles that settle very slowly, allowing for an area of space to be visibly blocked for a long period of time. The composition of particles also greatly lowers the possibility of residue forming or contamination.

Because of the longevity of the smoke screen, security smoke is best used around valuable goods or areas which are deemed vulnerable to intrusion.

When activated the smoke will shroud the area completely, making the actions of intruders very difficult due to lack of visibility. For this reason, it is recommended that the smoke be used in an area that intruders would spend a lot of time in. As this will hinder their progress and often cause the intruders to abandon their activities.
