The CryoBan grenade was originally designed as a fire suppressant. When detonated, Cryoban grenades rapidly caused everything in a radius of four meters to freeze. Used as a weapon, they could trap a person or object, and the cold itself could be lethal to living beings and damage equipment such as droids and vehicles.

−
The freezing effect was caused by a supercooled liquid that froze on contact. There was also a chemical agent present that absorbed heat.

CryoBan grenades were used by [[Revan]], the [[The Exile|Jedi Exile]], [[mercenaries]], [[Mandalorian]]s, and others during the [[Jedi Civil War]].

The CryoBan grenade was originally designed as an emergency fire suppressant.[2] It used CryoBan technology adapted from the carbon-freezing process. Used as a weapon, the CryoBan grenade covered targets in its blast radius with supercooled chemicals, causing pain and temporarily trapping a person within the ice formed by the blast. The cold itself could also damage equipment such as droids, electronics, and vehicles that were not adapted for cold-weather use.[3]

Models manufactured by Merr-Sonn Munitions, Inc. included the WW-41 CryoBan grenade and WW-47 CryoBan grenade. These CryoBan grenades had a distinct baton shape.[2]
