Overview

Riders who like a clean drivetrain and don't mind the one-off effort of stripping and hot waxing a chain.

Secret Chain Blend is Silca's hot melt wax for dipping chains: a four wax blend of highly refined paraffin loaded with three sizes of nano-scale tungsten disulfide. Silca says the particles fill the surface of the chain, so a waxed chain runs quieter and faster over repeated waxings.

It comes as 500 g of granules in a heat-resistant pouch, made to sit in a pot of hot water, and it is PFAS free. Between full dips you can top the chain up with Silca's Super Secret Chain Lube, which Silca says is matched to this wax. You will need a pot or wax system, a chain-hanging hook and a chain that has been stripped and cleaned first.

Dry, clean film

Clean to the touch on the chain, so no oily grime on your hands or trousers.

Tungsten disulfide blend

Three particle sizes of WS2 in laboratory-grade paraffin.

Top up between dips

Silca says Super Secret Chain Lube is fully compatible for topping up.

PFAS free and good value per chain

No PFAS chemicals, and Silca says a pouch waxes 40 to 60 chains.

Who it's for

Great for

  • Riders happy to strip a chain and hot wax it
  • Anyone who wants a quiet, clean drivetrain
  • Riders who already use, or plan to use, Silca Super Secret Chain Lube for top-ups

Maybe not for

  • Anyone who wants a quick drip-on lube with no prep
  • Fitting straight onto a chain still coated in factory grease or old oil: it must be stripped and cleaned first
  • Waxing a quick link, which Silca does not recommend

500 g pouch of granules. You also need a pot or wax system, a way to hang the chain, and a clean chain.

Worth knowing

Prep and safety

Strip and clean the chain properly before dipping, and never leave the pouch unattended in a pot on the stove. Silca warns that heating the wax above 125 C can burn it. Leave the quick link out of the wax so it fits smoothly.
