Description

Initially, shipping may take a little longer as the item is very popular and production is currently still small.

Our brand new additive makes it possible to wax factory-new chains directly without degreasing. The additive converts the grease into wax. The quality, lubrication performance and durability of the wax are not affected.

Notes:

  • 1 hexagon per new chain, the small pieces are put together and used
  • Only for use with our ultrasonic wax melter, the ultrasound is needed to optimally mix the grease and the emulsifier
  • The wax melter must be filled with 2 wax packets (750g)
  • Maximum concentration: 8 chains + 8 pieces of additive to 2 hot wax packets or 750g. (After this, no more additive may be added. Only when new wax is added again)
  • In short: it is not suitable for commercially waxing new chains, but only for classic private use) If the maximum dosage of the additive in the wax is reached, conventional waxing or lubrication can be continued, or more wax must be added to use more additive.
  • Process a maximum of one new chain at a time in the ultrasonic wax melter with the additive

FAQs: Optimize Degreasing Additive

Can I really wax new chains with the additive without degreasing them?

Yes. The additive was specially developed to convert the factory grease of new chains into wax. Prior degreasing is not necessary, and the lubrication performance and quality of the wax remain fully intact.

Why does the additive only work with the ultrasonic wax heater?

Ultrasound is necessary to optimally mix the grease of the new chain and the emulsifier of the additive. Without ultrasound, the conversion cannot reliably take place.

How many additives can I use per chain and per wax filling?

For each new chain, exactly 1 additive hexagon is used – never more.
Multiple hexagons must not be used for one chain at the same time.
Per wax filling (2 wax packages = 750 g), a maximum of 8 new chains can be treated, each with 1 additive hexagon.
Once this maximum additive concentration is reached, no further additive may be added. After that, waxing can continue normally without additive, or fresh wax must be added to be able to use additive again.
Additionally:
➡️ Treat a maximum of one new chain at a time in the ultrasonic wax cooker with additive.

Additive for new bicycle chains – waxing without degreasing

New bicycle chains come heavily greased from the factory, which previously meant time-consuming degreasing with solvents.

The Optimize Additive eliminates this step: In combination with the Optimize Ultrasonic Wax Cooker, the factory grease is reliably converted into wax.

This allows you to wax new chains directly, saving time, chemicals, and effort, while still achieving a clean, durable wax coating for maximum everyday performance.

Controlled Growth of New Chains in the Ultrasonic System

The Optimize Additive is specially developed for use in the Optimize Ultrasonic Wax Cooker. The ultrasound ensures that fat, emulsifier, and wax combine homogeneously, and the factory chain grease is completely integrated into the wax system.

Thanks to the clearly defined dosage (1 hexagon per chain), the wax quality remains stable and reproducible. Ideal for demanding users who want to integrate new chains cleanly, efficiently, and system-conformingly into their existing waxing concept.

Company History

Lubricant Solution Made in Germany

Optimize was founded in April 2022 by me, Felix, because no chain wax available on the market convinced me in terms of lubrication performance and cleanliness. Since mid-2023, I have been running Optimize full-time with great passion, now supported by a small team. Our goal is well-designed products that solve real problems and make chain waxing easier – with technical solutions that other providers don't implement.
