Silca Chain Waxing System

The Silca Chain Waxing System is a purpose-built at-home wax immersion setup that gives cyclists a cleaner, quieter, and more efficient drivetrain compared to traditional oil-based lubes. It’s designed to handle the entire wax-immersion process with less mess, better heat control, and thoughtful features that make regular chain waxing more practical and repeatable.

Key Features & What’s Included

• Electric wax warmer with a 600 mL capacity — big enough for a full-length bicycle chain.
• PID temperature controller (precise heating to avoid overheating and protect wax quality).
• Vented clear lid — lets you watch wax melt and retain heat efficiently.
• Drip stand & cable coupler — hang the chain after dipping so excess wax drips cleanly back into the pot.
• Cable coupler to securely thread and suspend the chain for immersion and drying.

How It Works

The system lets you fully immerse a chain in molten wax (wax sold separately), coat every roller and pin, then hang it to cool and drip off excess — greatly reducing dirt attraction and friction compared to oil lubes. Pairing this with products like SILCA’s StripChip (for degreasing) and high-quality wax (e.g., Super Secret Chain Blend) gives a complete wax maintenance workflow.

Benefits of Waxing

• Produces a cleaner, quieter, and more efficient chain because wax repels grime better than conventional wet lubes.
• Reduces mess and wasted wax via drip control and precise temperature management.
• Designed specifically for cycle chain waxing — easier and more controlled than using generic kitchen slow cookers.
