Completely strip and prep your chain for wax in 10 minutes. Submerge the chain or even just drip it on the chain, rinse, and apply super secret.
Take all the work and harsh chemicals out of chain waxing.
Far 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.
Previously, standard techniques have utilized multiple solvents and rinse stages, transitioning from less polar solvents that reduce the thickness of greases and oils to increasingly more polar solvents that quickly evaporate to eliminate any leftover residue. When developing the SILCA Chain Stripper, we began at the end and worked in reverse, pinpointing chemicals that effectively remove greases and oils while encouraging wax to adhere to metal.
The result is an organic cleaner that lifts and encapsulates greases and oils allowing them to easily be rinsed away from the metal surface.
The 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.
The aggressive 'lift and encapsulate' action of SILCA chain stripper allows for 2 quick and easy cleaning options.
- For hot-melt waxing a new, factory chain with SILCA Secret Blend Hot Melt, simply immerse the chain in the Stripper and agitate 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 and 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.
- For drip applied waxing of a new or nearly new chain with SILCA Super Secret without removing the chain from the bicycle.
- Apply 1 drop of SILCA Chain Stripper to each roller of the chain while backpedalling.
- Allow to soak for 5 minutes.
- Backpedal 10 revolutions of the crank to agitate cleaner and re-apply 1 drop per roller allowing to sit for 5 more minutes.
- Rinse with clean water while backpedalling at least 10 revolutions.
SILCA 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.
SILCA 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 bicycle for drip wax application.
