ADVANTAGES OF GRAPHENLUBE - WAX LUBRICANT:
THE PRODUCT
In simple terms it’s a “wax” based water emulsion, with a special mix of high purity graphene, that is liquid when you apply and becomes almost solid when it dries on the chain. Wax based lubricants exhibit far greater tolerance to water and dirt contamination, successfully separating moving chain parts from abrasion and filling in all the imperfections on friction surfaces. Graphene – the wonder material that is still not commonly used because of its incredibly high cost, is a great additive for a few reasons. It has extremely low friction coefficient in all the environments, is far stronger than any known material to a man and it can cling to metal protecting friction surfaces from excessive abrasion. Moreover, it repels the water and is not permeable to air reducing therefore oxidative stress on the metal surface. Even a single atom layer is enough to reduce the friction considerably.
It took us two years to find the right ratio of crumpled to non-crumpled graphene, size of graphene platelets, dispersion rate of agglomerates, concentration and finally figuring out a low friction hydrocarbon emulsion base that will stay on the chain for very long time and not chip away like paraffin wax is known for. The end result is a lubricant that on a single application will hold sub 5 Watts of frictional losses over 900km distance. We have created essentially a new category of performance lubricants.
But why should you care about this number?
For the same reason why Pro Tour teams are eager to use it. It gives you “free” power regardless the conditions.

HOW TO LUBRICATE YOUR CHAIN WITH GRAPHEN LUBE
1. Wipe the chain with a cloth. (Use gloves)
2. Shake the bottle. Apply the lube continuously to the inside of a chain turning cranks backwards.
3. Let the lube dry for a min. of 2h before riding, ideally overnight.
FIRST APPLICATION: Take the chain off the bike and clean it using a solvent (like White Spirit or mineral turps) by immersing the chain completely in the solvent using the poly bag that was delivered with the lube (Use gloves). Take chain out and let it dry. Fully immerse the chain in the lube (use another poly bag) for about 10-30min. You can speed this process by gently shaking and articulating the links through the bag. Remove it and let it dry completely (Ideally overnight). For maximum racing performance re-lube every 600km or sooner in dry conditions and after every wet ride. If you race, apply a day before the race. Always apply to a dry chain.
