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!
Due to a bottling mistake our label is missing the words "Do not Eat," but this lubricant is not safe for consumption.

THE drip lubricant
Whilst being a convert to waxing my chain, wax isn’t ideal in wet weather (hello from UK…), nor for when your bike is on the turbo and shedding wax all over the floor. This is the next best thing. In my experience it is extremely quiet and really easy to apply. Performance is great too, as indicated by the zero friction cycling testing.

Wonderful stuff!!
I use this on every bike that I don't wax... It's a noticeable reduction in friction, you can easily feel it in the pedals once applied!
