Henkel Develops New Lubricant for Rusty Fastener Removal

“Loctite Freeze & Release,” a newly developed lubricant by German Henkel can freeze and release rusty or corroded fasteners easily. The lubricant can create a Shock Freeze result with the temperature of minus 45 Celsius degrees, causing the instant contraction of fasteners to create a gap at the rusty area, and therefore the lubricant can permeate, making the dead locked fasteners be removed easily. In addition, the lubricant can also provide an antirust function, so the fasteners removed will show a stronger anti-corrosion ability and the surface will be slick as well.

Rusty fasteners used to be removed with dangerous methods like heating or high-temperature cutting. “Loctite Freeze & Release” can achieve the same result only through a spray as well as improving the work environment and efficiency. Such a product is also sold to the industry of automobiles, construction, and industrial supply.
