Can dust remover the compressed air give you frost bite?

I mean that stuff is cold.
Answer:
Yeah, that stuff is damn cold. It could only give you frostbite if you were to apply it, say to your fingertips until the cells in your flesh start to freeze. And boy does that hurt...
Yes, if you turn the can upside and spray its liquid form onto your skin. It will do damage.
i dunno but it sure will give u a head rush
Putting gases under pressure takes a tremendous amount of energy. If you're familiar with SCUBA tanks, you'll notice that the tanks feel hot after being freshly filled.Conversely, the opposite is true. Releasing compressed gases also release a lot of pent up energy. The expansion of the gases causes a drastic lowering of the surrounding temperature.You can read more about this through this informative article:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/thermodynam...But to answer your question, yes, you can potentially get from bite from compressed gases. It depends on the volume and pressure difference. In fact, it's possible to get BURNS from the extreme cold, especially in CO2 systems with large reservoirs. Though I would hazard to guess that as long as you stay a few inches from the nozzle, no ill-effects should be experienced from the dust remover.
