Following the huge success of SILCA Super Secret Chain Lube and Super Secret Chain Blend, it has become clear to us that the vast majority of cyclists are still interested in using oil-based wet lubricants for both the ease of use and reduced time to get started. While hot melt wax and drip wax may ultimately be a bit more effective and cleaner, the requirement to start with a perfectly clean, dry chain and 300 mile reapplication intervals is not for everyone.
SILCA therefore set out to develop the world's fastest, quietest and longest lasting oil-based chain lubricant using nanoscale tungsten disulfide to reduce surface wear and friction. in the chain. What we didn't know when we started this project is that WS2 has a unique and not fully understood synergistic effect with a well-established anti-wear additive commonly used in racing car engine lubrication called ZDDP. It really turns out to be a case of 1+1=10 as each additive showed the ability to reduce wear and friction by 10-15%, but when combined the friction was almost halved and wear has dropped by 95%!
The secret is a phenomenon known as a durable tribofilm, which forms under pressure, bringing the WS2 and another additive to form a solid highly lubricant on the surface of the metal that acts not only as a lubricant surface, but also as a surface of wear.
