Pros & Cons
Pros & Cons
- Saves up to 8 watts of resistance, compared to regular lubricants.
- Unique wax recipe ensures perfect lubrication and an increased chain lifespan.
- Put the resealable plastic container in a pot of boiling water to warm up the wax before application.
- Contains 100% effective agents, so your chain will be fully waxed after 1 application.
- Perfectly compatible with Silca Secret Chain Lube, both products contain the same effective agents.
- For proper adhesion, your chain must be 100% grease- and dirt-free.
- The process of chain cleaning, wax warming, and reassembling your chain is extensive and takes quite some time.

| Type of wax | Hot wax |
Silca Secret Chain Blend is wax in pure form, a so-called 'hot wax'. To apply it to your chain, you first need to heat the wax to around 75 degrees Celsius. Then you can dip your chain into the liquid wax. The wax consists of a unique recipe of paraffin and tungsten disulphide beads. This special combination ensures optimal lubrication and reduced wear by filling in all the unevenness in the metal of your chain. This reduces friction in your drivetrain, as there is less metal-to-metal contact. As a result, your chain wears down less quickly, and less energy is lost to friction. For good adhesion, your chain should be 100% grease- and dirt-free. For one chain, use a maximum of a few grams of wax. The remaining wax hardens completely and can be reused many times.
Difference between 'Hot-Wax' and 'Drip-Wax'
Wax is a widely used lubricant in the cycling world. The most common variant are the 'drip' waxes. In these, the wax is mixed with a liquid so it is easy to apply to your chain. The liquid evaporates within hours of application, and the wax is then left on your chain. The disadvantage of this is that you can never completely fill the chain cavities with wax, as part of it is the liquid that eventually evaporates. This always creates spots on your chain where dirt can be trapped. This, in turn, causes wear and increased resistance. So the big advantage of the 'hot' wax is that this consists 100% of wax, so you apply a full layer of wax to your chain in one go. By completely filling all openings and cavities of the chain with wax, there is no place where dirt can settle.
If speed and maximum performance are important, there is no better choice. The fastest chain treatment available on the market. For more wax durability, use the Super Secret Drip to maintain waxed performance without removing the chain.
• Volume: 500 g
• Feels clean on the chain
• No PFAS chemicals
• Tungsten disulphide / WS2 particles in the wax can seal small imperfections in the chain for reduced wear
• Put a pot on the fire or use a rice cooker with water to heat Silca Secret Chain Blend.
• When the water boils, put the bag of Silca Secret Chain Blend in the pan.
• Clean the chain in a container with chain degreaser so that the preservative grease is completely removed.
• Completely dry and clean the chain with a cloth and/or compressed air/compressor. Use a steel wire and hook it through the ends of the chain.
• This way, you can then place the chain in the open Silca Secret Chain Blend and move or shake it back and forth.
• Finally, pull the chain out of the wax and hang it to dry overnight with a drip tray underneath.
• After drying, the chain has solidified and you will need to make the chain move again.
• This can be done by breaking the links loose piece by piece with your hands.
• Has the chain regained some mobility?
• Cut it to length and then mount it with a chain punch and break pin or missing link!

Silca Secret Chain Blend is a liquid wax that provides exceptionally smooth, clean and duu
Silca Secret Chain Blend offers exceptionally low friction, long-lasting protection and keeps your chain remarkably clean. Thanks to the liquid wax, you enjoy hot melt performance without complicated applications. The chain will keep running smoothly even in wet or dusty conditions. Proper degreasing beforehand is essential to get the most out of this product. Although a bit more expensive, its durability and performance makes it worth every euro.

First time is a bit of work because your chain really needs to be grease-free. But the second time, you only need to wax the chain again. After waxing, the chain makes some noise at first, but that is over after about half an hour. I have ridden 500 km without waxing and that went fine. Just put it back in the pan, dry and you're good to go again. Another big advantage is that the chain (and thus your sprockets and bike) stay very clean. So I am very satisfied!
Pros & Cons

I wish I had switched to chain wax years ago
Ridden about 100km with the waxed chain and it really does ride super smooth. In addition, no dirt is left on the chain: after the ride, a microfibre cloth runs along the chain and it is back to school. It is very important to really clean the chain thoroughly before waxing.

Best chain wax out there!
Used other waxes before, but this stuff is of a totally different level. With most waxes, you have to apply/cycle/apply/... before the chain runs really smooth/noiseless, but with Silca you already have that effect after a single waxing. Also works well together with the Super Secret Chain Lube for quick lubrication of your chain in between uses. In principle, you can just put the bag in a pan of (almost) boiling water and throw the chain in it, but I don't find that very convenient, because it is then difficult to move the chain around a lot to make sure the wax really penetrates everywhere. That's why I bought a slow cooker for a few euros, although Silca itself has a (much more expensive) alternative for this.
