Security fog

 

The sign on the supermarket door promised "security fog". I wondered what that was. I found details here. If it is glycerine in the distilled water, that is basically propane with OH replacing one H on the three carbons. It doesn't boil until 290 oC so it is probably being used as vapor at lower temperature here. However its latent heat of vaporisation is much lower.
