Our liquid wax consists of a water-wax emulsion. When applied, the emulsion penetrates the chain excellently due to its low viscosity. The liquid wax is slightly more viscous or has a higher surface tension, and the wax penetrates the chain excellently due to the capillary forces that occur.

The emulsion dries solid inside the chain as the water evaporates. Therefore, it is important to observe the drying time of 8 hours. It is possible to work with a shorter drying time, but this depends on temperature and other factors and can, in case of doubt, impair performance.

Over several applications, the lubricating performance of the wax increases further, as a small amount of wax always remains in the chain and provides additional lubrication.

Crucial for a good emulsion is the ratio of water to wax. The more wax introduced into the chain, the better. However, the emulsion must not be too viscous, otherwise it will not penetrate the chain well.

The wax particle size and especially the melting point of the wax used are also crucial. If the melting point is very low, the wax will be soft at ambient temperature and will quickly pick up dirt. If the melting point is chosen too high, the wax will not release a continuous lubricating film.

As you can imagine, we believe we have developed a very balanced and particularly good product. The customer reviews support this.
