LOCTITE 8040 FREEZE AND RELEASE 400ML 760225

LOCTITE® LB 8040 is a fast-acting mineral-oil-based lubricant designed to release rusted, corroded and seized metal parts. Also known as Freeze & Release, it uses a shock-freezing effect to cool components instantly to -43°C, creating microscopic cracks in the rust layer. This allows the lubricating ingredients to penetrate directly into the rust by capillary action, helping to facilitate disassembly. Once released, the parts remain lubricated and protected against corrosion.

Features:
LOCTITE® LB 8040 is an amber, mineral-oil-based lubricant formulated specifically for use on metal substrates. As a non-curing product, it remains in lubricant form after application rather than hardening or forming a bonded layer. Its lubricant viscosity is below 5 mPa·s (cP), while its density is 0.6 g/ml at 20°C. The product is supplied as a spray, enabling targeted application to metal components during maintenance and repair operations. For optimum product stability, it is to be stored in the unopened container in a dry location at temperatures between 8°C and 21°C; storage below 8°C or above 28°C may adversely affect its properties. This product is not recommended for use in pure oxygen and/or oxygen-rich systems and should not be selected as a lubricant for chlorine or other strong oxidising materials.
