CHILL OUT is not a new product, however; it is new to the HVAC industry.  Usually a tech has to spray a penetrating lubricant on stuck fan blades and bolts and then let it sit for hours while waiting for it to loosen.

CHILL OUT combines rapid freezing and a special penetrating lubricant to easily loosen bound parts. Sprayed areas shrink and create penings to allow the lubricant to penetrate and open up the toughest bonds. Liberal application will loosen threads, tightened fitted parts, sliding and rotating parts, bolts, hinges and pins which have been “frozen” by corrosion. The formula will protect against renewed corrosion.
