That freezer spray you use for plumbing - anyone know what's in it? A friend said "liquid nitrogen". I was about to say how stupid he was when I realised I actually have no idea what it is. Maybe it is liquid nitrogen? All I can find on google is that is works by evaporation.

Nope, that can't be done at room temp.

Which is the R134a which you get fined for releasing to atmosphere from
air conditioners in Australia.
ps. you can get it in electronic shops to blow the dust off your
keyboard and it used to be used as an aerosol in asthma puffers.

I've really no idea, "**** for brains" asked the question, I merely tried to
help, kinda.

Yes, Dentists and electrical fault tracers use a much smaller quantity of it
to in the first case cause cold in a tooth to see if you feel it in which
case the nerve is still alive, or to cool components that may be failing
with heat.

Critical point for Nitrogen is at about 126K (-147°C) and 40 bar - you're not going to find that in your average aerosol :-)

As other posters have already said, it's a fluorocarbon that's used in freezer sprays.

Australia are a little wimpy with regards to pollution.

Doesn't that freeze the keyboard?

Freeze their throats? That'll cure the Asthma.....

Or, indeed, cool ones which work with heat, but it's a very blunt
