No it's just a can or aresol propellant.. Just like the canned air for cleaning computers but they put a dip tube in to shoot liquid propellant.
The liquid boils at room temperature, it's the same process your air conditioner uses for cooling your home.
Canned air.. Flip it upside down.. spray something like a soda can.. Feel the cold

FYI Liquid Nitrogen is -321?f.. That will get your nuts loose

Apparently it works.
I was changing my ignitor yesterday which is mounted on the right side of the battery. One screw was badly stuck and I couldn't get a impact on it without removing lots of parts. Tried tapping the back of the screwdriver with a hammer. No luck. Sprayed it with wd40 and went and had a beer on the back deck.
After 20 minutes or so I went and tried the screwdriver and hammer trick again still wouldn't budge.
At that point and time i remembered this thread and dug up an old can of electronic cold spray. Shot about a quarter of the can at it, grabbed the screwdriver applied pressure and tapped it with the hammer. Heard a liitle crack and came right out.
I was so happy I changed the ignitor and had another beer to celebrate.

Both the CRC and the Loctight stuff contain more than just propellent.
The also contain penetrating oil that goes in and does its stuff after the cold works its magic...
For the $5 the can cost me it was well worth it.
I saved a couple of hours of cursin' and sweatin'....
I'm sold...even better than PB Blaster....
I used it for my broken exhaust studs and no go.
At $12 it was a little higher than PB but as usefull.
Ended up at a machine shop, but it may have just been the studs.
Will have to try it again on easier jobs.

I just tried the CRC stuff on one of my broken exhaust bolts - same result as crag antler, no go.
Did seem like cool stuff (pardon the pun).

I saw a similar product, but not loctite brand, slightly cheaper, and has penetrating oil in the spray already. not sure about the loctite brand, but it may have penetrating oil already.
