SILCA LIMITED WARRANTY
Parts covered by SILCA Limited Warranty are considered to be subject to wear through normal use or are consumable subject to degradation through the course of their daily use. SILCA guarantees the life of these items to be at least 2 years from the date of original purchase.
Electron microscopy of this phenomena was first reported by Paula Ussa Aldana at the University of Lyon in France a few years back. She was able to section the test samples to expose the tribofilm, showing exactly how the WS2 nano platelets are being held in the tribofilm of ZDDP.
Tribofilm formed in the wear groove of a test pin.
In SILCA testing, the use of a significantly more advanced base oil than used in the University of Lyon testing has shown further improvements in both wear and friction, while careful balancing of the formulation has allowed us to mass produce the resulting oil at an attainable price despite the exotic cost of some of the ingredients.
SILCA Synergetic oil has tested internally to be the fastest and quietest oil-based lubricant ever tested, losing only 4.9 watts on 250 input (98.1% efficiency), however, it really begins to shine when focusing on longevity and durability of the chain and mating components. Best of all, because the lubricant forms a durable tribofilm at the metal surface, and is strongly attracted to itself, the lube proves to be exceptionally waterproof, remaining inside the chain even in testing under full water submersion, the lubricant is not displaced!
I’ve tried all sorts of lube over the years and never really been satisfied with any. Some seemed to work well but made your chain really dirty . Others were clean but just didn’t work well. Then I tried Super Secret Chain by Silca and it’s by far the most incredible thing you can put on your chain; in the dry. In the wet, I use this. And it’s great. The second best lube I’ve used.
350km from and to my work in freezing temperatures and yesterday in the snow with a lot of salt on the road, the Synergetic oil protected the chain perfectly. Not a spec of rust where I previously had some rust with a normal wet lube in these conditions.
I am no expert with lubes, but using this on my bike chain seemed to quieten everything down and even shifting seemed better. Easy to apply and well worth the price.
