End Line has had a ceramic-infused liquid wax chain lube for years, however by no means dipped into full wax and scorching soften merchandise till now. Their new HALO lineup brings that to your workshop, together with claims of lowered friction, water resistance, longevity, lowered mechanical put on, and dust
protection.
And, they do it with a PFAS-free, biodegradable system that received’t harm the setting. Right here’s what it’s worthwhile to know…
The End Line HALO household has three merchandise, all made within the USA and/or Canada:

Three principal substances set it aside and assist it carry out. First, highly-refined paraffin wax coats the chain with a dry-to-the-touch movie that repels moisture and sloughs off dust and grit.
Second, micron-sized spherical tungsten tubes scale back friction by successfully rolling between the surfaces of chain plates, chainrings, and cogs. Third, ceramic boron nitride platelets kind a non-stick coating to maintain the tungsten on board so it lasts longer.
The primary software ought to be on a totally clear, degreased chain and allowed to dry utterly (they advocate 6-12 hours). Subsequent coats may be utilized over that, simply wipe off any floor contamination. You can even use it to prime off the…
