Product Description

The Secret is in the Formula

SILCA Super Secret Chain lube started out as a project to develop the fastest Hot-Melt wax lubricant available more than two years ago.

SILCA has been recommending Hot Melt Wax and helping Pro cyclists and triathletes wax chains for years and wanted to bring his lubricant formula to our customers, the challenge was how to consistently melt, dip and agitate the chain across different crockpot designs and temperatures.

The project took a fascinating turn from the world of IndyCar when we were introduced to a group that had developed a technology to put micro-scale wax powders into a solution that was quick drying and forms a coating that is indiscernible from hot melt dipping. 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.

Proper Chain cleaning and Drying

Follow SILCA instructions on properly cleaning the chain followed by at least 12 but optimally 24 hours of rest for the wax to fully dry and cure to the chain.

SILCA recommends applying the super secret chain wax after a ride so your bike is ready for your next adventure.

Clean to the touch
Repels dirt and debris

4oz and 8oz bottles with precision applicator
12oz oversized jar for chain removal and submersion

… Listen to the Data

The test is designed to replicate real world situations to help you choose the best chain lube for your bicycle. Up until 2020 only 1 lubricant had made it through all 6 test blocks below 100% wear, and 95% of lubricants tested fail the test before reaching block 6.

SILCA WS2 technology has produced lubricants in all 3 lubricant type categories which make it to block 6 including the current all-time test winner, SILCA Secret Blend hot wax which has beaten the previous record holder by nearly 4x!

(Please note, there is no ‘Dry Lube’ category. Dry lubricants test poorly in efficiency and often will not survive to Block 2 of testing. These lubes tend to be mostly solvent mixed with dry lubricant powder and are both environmentally harmful as well as fast wearing and inefficient.)

What are PFAS?

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a group of man-made chemicals that include perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS). PFAS have been manufactured and used in a variety of industries around the globe, including in the United States since the 1940s. PFOA and PFOS have been the most extensively produced and studied of these chemicals. Both chemicals are very persistent in the environment and in the human body – meaning they don’t break down and they can accumulate over time. There is evidence that exposure to PFAS can lead to adverse human health effects. This is a concern in fire and emergency services because fluorine based Class B foams contain PFAS.

What are VOCS?

Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are emitted as gases from certain solids or liquids. VOCs include a variety of chemicals, some of which may have short- and long-term adverse health effects. Concentrations of many VOCs are consistently higher indoors (up to ten times higher) than outdoors. VOCs are emitted by a wide array of products numbering in the thousands.

Why We Care?

Protecting our waterways, even with the smallest marginal gain can have a huge impact for the future of our planet. When most riders hear about a “green” lubricant, it’s implied that the effectiveness of the lubricant does not meet performance standards or falls short of that mark. But all SILCA lubricants have ‘safe for the environment’ ingredients that outperform most lubricants on the market.

Reducing the wear and friction for your entire drive train, chain and the typically high friction components will decrease the number of these components being sent for scrap and allows you to protect your investment. The cost of lubricant versus the replacement cost of these parts is something to consider.
