 To free seized or corroded assemblies, Henkel Corporation has introduced Loctite Freeze & Release, a low-viscosity, spray-on lubricant designed to shock-freeze metal parts, allowing lubricating oils to penetrate into rust layers.
As Loctite Freeze & Release instantly freezes seized and rusted parts to -45 degrees Fahrenheit (-42.7 degrees Celsius), hairline cracks form in the rust layer as the metal contracts. These cracks allow the product's lubricating oil to penetrate by capillary action quickly and efficiently into the rust layer, and after one to two minutes-the assembly is easy to dismantle, says the company. Loctite Freeze & Release eliminates the need for cutting torches and die grinders, and the product is available in a 400-ml aerosol can, further says the company.
