Icing Chains
-
Break-in: Simulated 250-watt rider output for 15 minutes.
-
Removes and polishes microscopic asperities - rough edges.
-
-
Striping: Factory coating removed in a 5 – step solvent free ultrasonic cleaning process.
-
Striping of factory coating is critical to achieve low friction levels.
-
-
ICED Coating: Chain is infused with a waxed based lubrication cocktail.
-
Chain is preheated to 200 °F prior to coating.
-
Wax-Teflon-molybdenum disulfide graphite mixture applied using hot ultrasonic immersion.
-
-
Top Coat: Final coat of ultra-fine low friction particles applied to chain.
-
Ultra-fine low friction flake particles applied using HIP – Hot Isostatic Press process.
-
-
Final Testing: Chain friction is measured using simulated 250-watt output.
-
Savings of over 6-watts typically achieved compared to conventional lubrication methods.
