Silca Ultimate Chain Stripper and Wax Prep 16oz in Clear

Season:2023

Brand:Silca

Code:SIAMAC050ASY0100

The Silca Ultimate Chain Stripper And Wax Prep minimises the complexity, cost and time investment of stripping factory lubricant from a chain prior to waxing.

Silca designed this biodegradable, eco-friendly, one-step solution for chain preparation by looking at the desired results of the process and working backwards. Silca identified chemicals that drive out greases and oils while promoting wax adhesion to metal to create a viable product. The result is a highly concentrated degreaser combined with a primer that allows for fast, single-step preparation of factory chains in under 10 minutes.

Traditionally, this process could take an hour or more, using two or three harsh solvents and multiple rinse steps to move from non-polar solvents that thin greases to polar solvents that evaporate residues. Instead, this solution acts to lift and encapsulate factory lubricant in two quick and easy applications, while also priming the metal surface to improve wax adhesion. By doing so, it will improve your chain life by up to 30%.

There are two different methods for preparing your chain for hot melt and drip-applied waxing. For drip application, you can prepare a new or nearly new chain in situ on your bike. First, backpedal and add one drop of the chain stripper to each roller, allowing it to permeate for five minutes. Next, backpedal 10 further revolutions to agitate the stripper, then once more apply one drop per roller. Let it sit for another five minutes, then rinse the chain with clean water while backpedalling 10 revolutions.

For hot melt waxing, take the chain off the bike and immerse it in the Silca Ultimate Chain Stripper And Wax Prep. Agitate it for 30 seconds, before letting it sit for five to 10 minutes, then agitate again for 30 seconds. Remove the chain and rinse it with water to remove the encapsulated grease and oils. Your chain will be clean, prepped and ready for waxing, with its surface primed to promote wax adhesion and a long life.
