Chain cleaner Silca Ultimate Chain Stripper + Wax Prep
Silca Chain Stripper is a highly concentrated, biodegradable degreaser combined with a wax adhesion promoter (primer), which enables quick, single-step preparation of factory chains for waxing whilst simultaneously improving wax adhesion and increasing durability.
Silca Ultimate Chain Stripper:
- Biodegradable ingredients
- Cleans the chain in 10 minutes
- Improves the adhesion of the wax treatment
- Can be used on new or used chains
- Strips the chain on or off the bike
- Made in the USA
Silca Ultimate Chain Stripper:
The Chain Stripper reduces the time and number of chemicals required to properly prepare a factory-lubricated chain to less than 10 minutes and can even be used to prepare chains on bikes for the application of drip wax.
In just 10 minutes, the chain is completely degreased and ready for waxing. Dip the chain or simply drizzle it onto the chain, rinse it off and apply the super secret wax. Save yourself all the hard work and harsh chemicals when waxing the chain!
By far the biggest hurdle in switching to a waxed drivetrain has always been the need to completely remove the factory lubricant from the chain so that the wax can adhere properly. Conventional methods involved 2–3 different solvents and rinsing steps, starting with non-polar solvents that dilute greases and oils, through to increasingly polar solvents that evaporate quickly to remove residues. When developing SILCA Chain Stripper, we started at the end and worked backwards to find chemicals that displace greases and oils whilst promoting wax adhesion to the metal. The result is an organic cleaner that lifts and encapsulates greases and oils so that they can be easily rinsed away from the metal surface. The result is the world’s first wax-optimised chain cleaner that not only removes greases and oils but also prepares the metal surface for better adhesion of wax-based lubricants.
