OVERVIEW

Don't Let Rust Stop Your Arc

There is nothing more frustrating than pausing a fabrication job or a critical repair because of a single stuck bolt. Whether you are trying to swap out a gas cylinder with a seized cap, adjust a rusted fixture on your welding table, or repair a ground clamp connection, you need that fastener moving now. Walter Cold Shock is the secret weapon for welders who don't have time to wait for ordinary penetrating oil to soak in overnight.

Think of it as the opposite of a heating torch. Instead of heating the nut to expand it (which can damage heat-treated parts or surrounding paint), Cold Shock blasts it with a freezing agent that drops the temperature to -35°C instantly. This sudden freeze shocks the metal, causing it to shrink just enough to crack the rust seal holding it in place. It’s that "crack" sound you want to hear. Once the rust is broken, the penetrating oil wicks right into the threads, lubricating the path for easy removal.

Save Your Knuckles and Your Tools

Wrestling with a breaker bar on a seized bolt is a recipe for busted knuckles or snapped bolt heads. By using Cold Shock, you reduce the torque required to break the fastener loose. This means less strain on your tools and less risk of shearing the bolt off—which would turn a five-minute fix into a two-hour drill-and-tap nightmare. It is an essential addition to any welder's toolbox or shop cart.

Get back to welding faster with the power of thermal shock technology.

FAQ

The aerosol spray reduces the temperature of the application area to approximately -35°C (-31°F) to induce thermal contraction.

No, Walter Cold Shock is free from CFCs, HCFCs, and Chlorides, making it safer for users and the environment.

While generally safe, it is always recommended to test on a small, inconspicuous area first, as the extreme cold or solvent carrier could affect certain delicate finishes.

As an aerosol lubricant, it should be kept away from open flames, sparks, and hot surfaces during application. Always consult the SDS for specific safety data.

Spray the seized part for 5-10 seconds and wait 1-2 minutes for the thermal shock to crack the rust and the lubricant to penetrate before attempting to loosen.

Yes, the lubricant contained in the spray displaces moisture and leaves a protective film that helps inhibit future corrosion.

Yes, the cooling effect can be used to shrink shafts or inner races slightly to assist in interference fit applications, though it is primarily designed as a penetrant.
