Silca Secret Chain Blend Wax

Unlike liquid lubes that sit on the surface, hot melt wax penetrates the entire chain, creating a dry, low-friction coating that resists dirt and grime buildup. This results in a cleaner drivetrain and significantly less wear on your components over time.

No. For the wax to bond correctly, your chain must be completely stripped of all factory grease and previous lubricants. You will need to use a degreaser or an ultrasonic cleaner to ensure the metal is bare before the first application.

While the interval depends on your riding conditions, most riders find they can go 300 to 500 kilometers between hot wax applications. You can extend this significantly by using the compatible Silca drip wax to 'top off' the chain between full immersions.

Tungsten disulfide acts as a nano-scale lubricant that fills the microscopic crevices in your chain's metal surface. This modification reduces friction and wear, actually making the chain faster and quieter the more you ride with it.

Yes, but with a caveat. Because it is a dry wax, it sheds dirt and mud much better than oil-based lubes, keeping your drivetrain cleaner. However, if you are riding in constant downpours, you may need to re-wax more frequently than you would in dry conditions.

A 500g pouch is generous and will typically treat a single chain 10 to 15 times, depending on how much wax is lost during the dipping process. Because you can reuse the wax in your pot, it is a very efficient system once you have the initial setup.
