Submerge the chain or even just drip it on the chain, rinse, and apply Super Secret.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTake all the work and harsh chemicals out of chain waxing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFar and away, the largest hurdle for people converting to a waxed drivetrain has always been the need to completely strip the factory lubricant from the chain in order for the wax to properly adhere.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTraditional methods have involved using 2-3 different solvents and rinse steps, moving from non-polar solvents that thin greases and oils to progressively more polar solvents that evaporate quickly to eliminate residues.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor the design of Silica Chain Stripper, Silica started from the end and worked backwards, identifying chemicals which drive out greases and oils while promoting wax adhesion to metal.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe result is an organic cleaner that lifts and encapsulates greases and oils, allowing them to easily be rinsed away from the metal surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe result is the world's first wax-optimized chain cleaner which not only removes greases and oils, but actually primes the metal surface for improved adhesion from wax lubricants.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe aggressive 'lift and encapsulate' action of Silica Chain Stripper allows for two quick and easy cleaning options.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOption 1\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor hot-melt waxing a new, factory chain with Silica Secret Blend Hot Melt, simply immerse the chain in the Stripper and agitate for 30 seconds. Allow to sit for 5-10 minutes and agitate again for 30 seconds. Remove the chain from the Stripper and rinse with water, then drop the chain directly into the hot wax. The water will boil off within a few minutes, and the chain will be fully waxed with up to 30% longer application life than a chain cleaned by traditional methods.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOption 2\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor drip-applied waxing of a new or nearly new chain with Silica Super Secret, without removing the chain from the bicycle, apply one drop of Silica Chain Stripper to each roller of the chain while backpedaling. Allow to soak for 5 minutes. Backpedal 10 revolutions of the crank to agitate cleaner and re-apply one drop per roller, allowing it to sit for 5 more minutes. Rinse with clean water while backpedaling at least 10 revolutions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is it?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSilica Chain Stripper is a highly concentrated, biodegradable degreaser combined with a wax adhesion promoter (primer), which allows for fast, single-step preparation of factory chains for waxing while also improving wax adhesion and increasing longevity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSilica Chain Stripper reduces the time and number of chemicals required to properly prep a factory-greased chain to less than 10 minutes and can even be used to prepare chains on bicycles for drip wax application.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBiodegradable ingredients\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCleans chain in 10 minutes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eImproves wax treatment adhesion\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStrip chain on or off bike\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade in USA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Silca","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43052791234605,"sku":"10048413","price":45.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0575\/7052\/5229\/files\/SI162086.jpg?v=1727401661","url":"https:\/\/www.mtbdirect.com.au\/products\/silca-super-secret-chain-wax-starter-pack-118ml","provider":"MTB Direct Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
