World's first hot melt chain wax formula with Graphene for use in crockpots just got better. Our V2 formulation lasts longer than any other hot melt wax in wet and dry contamination, has even lower friction and withstands higher ambient temperatures thanks to a completely redeveloped wax blend. We combined 3 years of customer feedback to create an even better product. GRAPHENwax ® - Quiet, clean, less flaky than paraffin and easy to break in formula. It exhibits excellent dirt-protecting capabilities and durability whilst maintaining impressively low friction for a prolonged period of time in dry and mixed conditions. Easy to break in after the chain cools down. Our wax doesn't leave any marks thanks to our proprietary formula. It is the First and only chain wax formula with true graphene powder. Protected by several patents.
It's everything you wished for in a hot melt wax. Perfect for Road, Triathlon, Gravel, Mtb and E-bike. Keeps your drivetrain clean. Can be used along with GRAPHENlube ®. It's the quietest hot melt wax you will ever use.
Unlike other Hot Melt waxes, GRAPHENwax ® V2 not only exhibits the lowest friction but also lasts longer and is much easier to use. Our wax flakes less than paraffin during the chain movement, meaning you have more wax that protects the drivetrain for longer. It can also withstand those hot days when other wax lubricants simply melt off your chain. GRAPHENwax ® will not stain your fingers when handling the chain and it's the quietest wax coating you will use.
GRAPHENwax ® and our World Tour-winning GRAPHENlube go very well together. If you plan longer rides you can "top it up" with GRAPHENlube ®. The chain will not require re-cleaning.
GRAPHENE content
We use a proprietary blend of graphene particles of various sizes, produced by one of the world's best graphene manufacturers located in the UK. Countless R&D hours and tests on our one-of-a-kind testing machine, allowed us to find the best blend and amount to achieve the lowest possible friction. Simply throwing in "some graphene" to a wax blend, would result in average performance.
Why pliable GRAPHENwax is better than any other hot melt formula:
How long the box of GRAPHENwax lasts:
Each chain treatment uses only 3-4g (0.14oz) of wax if you let it drip back into the crockpot while it dries. We actually weighed it. If you clean your chain with boiling water (see video below), let it dry and then wax, you could get around 62 treatments and still have 100g (3.5oz) left in the pot to guarantee full immersion of the chain. It's only a matter of how much you contaminate the wax or how good you clean the chain with boiling water prior to every waxing. Wax will still last the same number of applications regardless of cleaning, but if you contaminate the wax too much, it will no longer be as effective.
It's like walking in the house with shoes on. The floor is clean as long as you clean your shoes every time you enter the house.
How to lubricate your chain with flexible GRAPHENwax
First chain preparation: Take the chain off the bike or use brand new chain and clean it using a solvent (like White Spirit or mineral turps) by immersing the chain completely in the solvent for 20-60min using the poly bag that was delivered with the wax (Use gloves). Shake the bag with chain for 2min at the end. Take chain out and let it fully dry (2-12h). Optionally you can rinse the chain at this point with 98% alcohol to remove any remaining residue. Once the chain is dry you can apply the lube normally like instructed below. Solvent cleaning is only needed for the first time to remove the oils.
1. After that , If the chain is dirty, you can clean it by simply pouring hot water on the chain and let it dry Cleaning the chain this way doesn't contaminate the wax in crockpot, making it useful for longer.
2. Melt the GRAPHENwax in the crockpot (slow cooker) in usual manner on medium heat. Melt it completely. Our wax melts at around 70°C (160°F) but you should heat it to around 90-100°C (194-212°F)
3. Immerse the chain into the molten wax and wait until the wax buildup on the chain melts again. Best way to do this is to use wire metal clothes hanger by threading both ends of chain on the hanger.
4. Agitate the chain gently (up, down, left right) in the liquid wax (using the coat hanger) for about 3-5min to make sure that the wax goes into the pins.
5. Take the chain out, hang it, then gently wipe the excess of the wax from the chain side plates and let it cool for about 15min.
6. After cooling, simply hold your chain in one hand and run it between two fingers of your free hand (as per our video) and job done
Warning:
Please remember that melted wax is very hot, so you should always wear appropriate protective clothing, leather gloves and safety glasses. Never leave working crockpot unattended. After use, turn the crockpot off and make sure the still hot melted wax is not reachable by children or other unauthorized people. Use only crockpot (slow cooker) to melt the wax. Never use oven, microwave or stove. Never exceed the temperature of 100°C (212°F). Never expose to open flame. Keep away from children. Use in well-ventilated space.
