The Flower Power Wax has proven to deliver highest level of chain and drivetrain wear protection. The lubricant remains very low friction to deliver such incredibly low wear rates over such a long test period, including dry and wet harsh contamination test blocks.\u003c\/p\u003e \n \n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \n \n\u003cul\u003e \n \u003cli\u003eCreates a solid layer of wax between the moving parts of the chain, reducing friction, noise and increasing the life of the chain\u003c\/li\u003e \n \u003cli\u003eUnlike lubricating oils, it does not soil clothes and resists contamination by dirt and dust\u003c\/li\u003e \n \u003cli\u003eBecause of the sunflower seed wax, it is very resistant to water and is ideal in any season, on and off-road\u003c\/li\u003e \n \u003cli\u003eOver 50% wax to water ratio\u003c\/li\u003e \n \u003cli\u003eRapidly biodegradable not having PTFE, sulphides, graphene or other chemicals harmful to the environment\u003c\/li\u003e \n\u003c\/ul\u003e \n \n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow Flowerpower Wax works\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e \n \n\u003cp\u003eFlowerpower Wax creates a solid layer of wax that is interposed between the moving elements of the chain, reducing friction. It’s a water emulsion of natural waxy compounds, with the right viscosity to penetrate inside the chain links, where lubrication is most important. Once the water has evaporated, a thick layer of wax remains firmly anchored to the metal, creating a real anti-friction pad.\u003c\/p\u003e \n \n\u003cp\u003eThe chain will not be dry to the touch – given the layer of wax that also protects the outside – but it will not be greasy or sticky and will not retain dirt.\u003c\/p\u003e \n \n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFirst application\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e \n \n\u003cp\u003eWax emulsions require a deep cleaning of the chain before they can be applied the first time. It is essential to remove any oily traces so that the emulsion comes in contact with the metal and can deposit a well-adhering layer of wax.\u003c\/p\u003e \n \n\u003cp\u003eThe thing is very simple using our Allpine Extra – an excellent degreaser designed for this purpose – and the Mangiacatena chain cleaner, equipped with rotating brushes. Thanks to these products it is not necessary to disassemble the chain to clean it thoroughly. Rinse the chain with water and dry it perfectly to complete cleaning.\u003c\/p\u003e \n \n\u003cp\u003eOnce this is done, after shaking the Flowerpower Wax bottle vigorously, apply a drop of product on each link of the chain. When each link has received its drop of wax, slowly turn the pedals (at least 10 complete revolutions) in order to allow the emulsion to penetrate inside. Leave to dry for at least 2-3 hours.\u003c\/p\u003e \n \n\u003cp\u003eFor the first application, repeat the lubrication process described above a second time (one drop of Flowerpower Wax per link, etc.). After waiting again for 2-3 hours to allow the water to evaporate, possibly clean the excess product on the outside of the chain with a cloth and you are ready to pedal.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Effetto Mariposa","offers":[{"title":"100ml","offer_id":44168070397994,"sku":"EEMCHFPW100","price":29.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/cyclesy.cc\/products\/effetto-mariposa-chain-lube-drip-flower-power-size-100ml","provider":"Cyclesy","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
