Freeze out effects and the IR-catastrophe are discussed for SN 1987A and for Type la SNe. We show that the light curves of the optical lines in SN 1987A provide strong evidence for the IR-catastrophe. We also argue that most optical lines are dominated by non-thermal excitation after ∼ 800 days. The level of this emission is set mainly by the total mass of the elements. Models of the [OI]λλ6300 — 64 light curve show that an oxygen mass of ∼ 1.5Mʘ is needed. Light curve models for Type la SNe display a sharp decrease in the optical flux as a result of the IR-catastrophe at ∼ 500 days, producing UBV-photometry inconsistent with observations of SN1972E by Kirshner & Oke (1975).
