Rex 909 Black Diamond Hot wax, 480g

REX Chain Lubricant Black Diamond Hot Wax | 480g

With the synthetic, wax-based Black Diamond chain lubricant, the Finns from Rex have already broken all records in the chain durability test. But resting on their laurels was not an option for the wax specialists from ski racing. Even if you might think that ski waxes and chain oils have little in common, they both pursue the same goal: keep frictional resistance as low as possible and prevent dirt and other contaminants from adhering. With the new Black Diamond Hot Wax, Rex combines 70 years of experience with paraffin ski waxes with the outstanding additives of the liquid Black Diamond chain lubricant.

The Hot Wax consists of 11 base blocks made from a specially tailored paraffin mixture and a Black Diamond additive block so that you can create your own wax mixture. For the majority of applications, it is advisable to melt all 12 blocks together and soak one or more previously completely degreased chains in the liquid wax (below 100 °C!) for some time. After the chain has cooled, excess wax should be gently wiped off and the chain can be mounted. Even with this treatment, a chain was able to achieve a mileage of over 1000 kilometers on the test bench at the Zerofriction specialists in dry road conditions, until the wear on the chain increased measurably. Waxing the chain with a mixture of 4 paraffin blocks with a black diamond block was able to increase the mileage again to almost 1500 kilometers. Thanks to the carefully coordinated additives, the Black Diamond Hot Wax was also able to set new mileage records in the simulated off-road test. Black Diamond Hot Wax is manufactured in their own factory in Hartola, Finland.

NOTE: The kilometers achieved on the test stand are possible maximum values up to which the chain still works without excessive wear. However, in order to get a quiet and silky-smooth drive, the chain should be waxed at significantly shorter intervals in everyday use.
