Ultra Fast Water-Proof Bicycle Chain Wax with Tungsten Disulfide

Product Description: Unlocking the Formula

The journey of SILCA Super Secret Chain lube began over two years ago with the goal of creating the fastest Hot-Melt wax lubricant on the market. For years, SILCA has been advocating for Hot Melt Wax amongst professional cyclists and triathletes, and now, they wanted to share this innovative lubricant formula with their customers. However, the challenge lied in finding a way to consistently melt, dip, and agitate the chain across various crockpot designs and temperatures.

The project took an interesting turn when SILCA was introduced to a group from the world of IndyCar who had developed a technology to incorporate micro-scale wax powders into a quick-drying solution that forms a coating similar to hot melt dipping. By combining air-drying liquid wax with Tungsten Disulfide, SILCA was able to create a chain lube that outperformed all existing hot melt waxes in friction testing, while also being quicker and easier to apply.

Proper Chain Maintenance:

Follow SILCA's instructions for cleaning the chain thoroughly and allow at least 12 hours, ideally 24 hours, for the wax to dry and cure on the chain. SILCA recommends applying the Super Secret chain wax after a ride so that your bike is ready for your next adventure. It is clean to the touch, repels dirt and debris, easy to apply, and can save up to 7 watts compared to other lubricants. Available in 4oz and 8oz bottles with a precision applicator, as well as a 12oz oversized jar for chain removal and submersion.

Listening to the Data:

The test conducted by SILCA is designed to simulate real-world conditions and help cyclists choose the best chain lube for their bicycles. Up until 2020, only one lubricant had passed all six test blocks with less than 100% wear, while 95% of lubricants tested failed before reaching block 6. SILCA's WS2 technology has produced lubricants in all three categories that make it to block 6, including the record-breaking SILCA Secret Blend hot wax. Dry lubricants performed poorly in efficiency testing and often did not survive past block 2.

Understanding PFAS and VOCs:

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are man-made chemicals, while volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are emitted as gases from certain solids or liquids. Both PFAS and VOCs can have adverse health effects and are concerning due to their persistence in the environment and human body. It is essential to be mindful of these substances, as they can have long-term effects on our health and the environment.

Why Choose SILCA?

SILCA's commitment to creating environmentally safe lubricants that outperform most products on the market is a step towards protecting our planet and reducing waste. By using SILCA lubricants, cyclists can reduce wear and friction on their drive train, chain, and other components, thus extending the lifespan of their bike parts and saving money on replacements. Considering the cost of lubricants versus replacement parts, investing in high-quality, eco-friendly lubricants like SILCA's Super Secret chain lube is a smart choice for both performance and sustainability.

Super Secret Liquid Chain Wax:

SILCA's Super Secret chain lube combines cutting-edge technology with the benefits of traditional hot wax lubricants, offering cyclists a cleaner, smoother, and quieter chain. The use of nano-scale Tungsten Di-sulfide provides superior lubrication and protection for all riding conditions. Apply the coating for at least 12 hours, or 24 hours in cool or humid weather, after your ride to ensure optimal performance for your next cycling adventure.

Overall, SILCA's Super Secret chain lube sets a new standard in the bicycle chain lube market by incorporating innovative technology, superior performance, and environmental safety into one comprehensive product.
