The combination of air-drying liquid wax and Tungsten Disulfide would quickly prove to beat all currently available hot melt waxes in friction testing while being much faster and easier to apply.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBest of all perhaps is that this formula would prove to be very environmentally friendly, utilizing 4 different types of wax, nano platelets of WS2 (Tungsten Disulfide), and mild alcohol to act as a carrier.  This same alcohol is used in the SILCA Gear Wipes, making them a perfect product to clean and remove Secret Chain Lube.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSPECIFICATIONS:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4oz. \/ 118ml bottle with precision applicator tip.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe chain should be very clean and dry before applying (CyclingTips has an Awesome Chain Cleaning Guide \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cyclingtips.com\/2018\/05\/chain-cleaning-and-maintenance-how-to\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eHERE\u003c\/a\u003e).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApply according to video and let dry for at least 30 Minutes!  \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSILCA recommend using after your ride so it's ready for next time!\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Silca","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43995864760542,"sku":"210000010921","price":44.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1764\/0539\/files\/SILCA-Super-Secret-Chain-Lube-Bottle-4OZ-120ML-Bike-Maintainance-Silca.jpg?v=1715164435"},{"product_id":"silca-super-secret-hot-melt-wax-500g","title":"Silca Super Secret Hot Melt Wax - 500g","description":"\u003cp\u003eConsisting of highly refined laboratory-grade paraffin and a high concentration of 3 specific sizes of nano-scale Tungsten disulfide, Secret Chain Blend not only acts as a lubricant but actually acts to modify the surface of the chain, filling in all of the crevices of the metal with highly lubricious and wear-resistant tungsten disulfide particles.
