Thread Freezer
The 2343777 THREAD FREEZER is Loctite LB 8040 Freeze & Release aerosol, a colorless, mineral-oil–based penetrating oil that rapidly cools components to –43 °C (–45°F). This “shock-freezing” effect helps crack through rust and corrosion, allowing lubricant to wick into seized threads and release stuck nuts or bolts. Ideal for maintenance of heavily corroded or seized fasteners.

Specifications
The 2343777 Thread Freezer, also known as Loctite LB 8040 Freeze & Release, is a fast-acting penetrating lubricant engineered to release corroded, rusted, or seized metal parts. When sprayed, this aerosol causes rapid cooling — down to approximately –43 °C — which induces microscopic fractures in rust. These cracks allow the mineral oil–based lubricant to wick into the seams via capillary action, breaking the bond without damaging the threads. Once freed, the components remain protected by a thin film of lubricant to prevent future corrosion. Loctite LB 8040 is particularly useful in heavy-duty maintenance, fleet applications, and industrial environments where fasteners may be exposed to moisture, salt, or oxidation. Its solvent odor formulation and reliable delivery make it a practical choice for repair shops, truck maintenance facilities, and field technicians.
