{"product_id":"rex-transformer-chainwax","title":"Rex Transformer Chainwax","description":"\u003ch3\u003eRex Transformer Block – hot wax additive for new factory-greased chains\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRex Transformer Block Chainwax 40 g is a hot wax additive that makes the first waxing of a new bike chain significantly easier. The product is designed for use on a completely new, factory-greased chain together with Rex hot wax.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTraditionally, a new chain must be thoroughly cleaned with solvents before hot waxing because the factory protective grease prevents the wax from adhering to the inner parts of the chain. Transformer Block converts the factory grease into a wax-compatible form in the hot wax, allowing a new chain to be waxed without traditional solvent cleaning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe package contains 4 Transformer Block pieces. One piece treats one new chain. The product is particularly suitable for riders or workshops that want to adopt hot waxing in a cleaner, faster way, without the labor-intensive degreasing process for a new chain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNote: Transformer Block is not a standalone chain wax or a cleaning agent for used chains. It is an additive for hot wax and is intended only for new, factory-greased chains.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAn easier way to start hot waxing a chain\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHot waxing is a highly effective way to keep a bike's drivetrain clean, quiet, and low-friction. The biggest hurdle is often the first treatment: removing the factory grease from a new chain is messy, time-consuming, and easily done incompletely.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRex Transformer Block solves exactly this step. When a new chain, Rex hot wax, and one Transformer Block piece are heated in the wax pot according to the instructions, the additive changes the behavior of the factory grease. The factory grease no longer acts as an oily barrier between the chain and the wax, allowing the hot wax to penetrate the area of the chain rollers, pins, and inner plates.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn practice, this means that a new chain can be transferred directly from the box to the wax pot without a lengthy solvent wash. The result is a clean, waxed chain with fewer chemicals, less mess, and less preparation work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTransformer Block works best with Rex's own hot wax system. It is designed specifically for use with Rex Black Diamond Hot Wax and the Rex Pro Wax Heater wax pot, but it can also be used in other wax pots, provided the temperature is maintained according to the manufacturer's instructions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical specifications and features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\t\u003cli\u003eHot wax additive for a new bike chain\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\t\u003cli\u003eEnables hot waxing of a new factory-greased chain without traditional solvent cleaning\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\t\u003cli\u003eConverts factory grease into a wax-compatible form\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\t\u003cli\u003eOne piece treats one new chain\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\t\u003cli\u003ePackage contains 4 pieces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\t\u003cli\u003eDesigned for use with Rex hot wax\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\t\u003cli\u003eParticularly suitable for use with Rex Black Diamond Hot Wax\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\t\u003cli\u003eDeveloped in a joint R\u0026amp;D program by Rex and the University of Helsinki\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\t\u003cli\u003eBased on the oleogelation process\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\t\u003cli\u003eReduces the mess and chemical requirements associated with waxing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\t\u003cli\u003eThe same wax mixture can be used later for re-waxing chains\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\t\u003cli\u003eSuitable for road, gravel, MTB, e-bike, and commuter chains, provided the chain is new and factory-greased\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\t\u003cli\u003eMade in Finland\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\t\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rex Transformer Block Chainwax 40 g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\t\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eOfficial name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Transformer Block additive for hot wax 40 g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\t\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hot wax additive \/ factory grease converter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\t\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eUse:\u003c\/strong\u003e First hot waxing of a new factory-greased bike chain\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\t\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 40 g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\t\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eContents:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4 Transformer Block pieces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\t\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eDosage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 piece \/ 1 new chain\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\t\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eYield:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4 new chains\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\t\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eRecommended wax amount:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 piece per 480 g of hot wax\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\t\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eRecommended maximum amount:\u003c\/strong\u003e maximum 4 pieces per 480 g of wax mixture to maintain optimal performance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\t\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eProcessing temperature:\u003c\/strong\u003e approximately 125 °C\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\t\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eChain removal from wax:\u003c\/strong\u003e at approximately 75 °C\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\t\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rex hot wax, especially Rex Black Diamond Hot Wax\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\t\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eRecommended device:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rex Pro Wax Heater\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\t\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer's product number:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9092\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\t\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eEAN \/ GTIN:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6417839090920\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\t\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eCountry of manufacture:\u003c\/strong\u003e Finland\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\t\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eSales unit:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 package \/ 4 pieces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Rex","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57435075117380,"sku":"9092","price":14.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0987\/6068\/7940\/files\/rex-transformer-chainwax_orig_4f34d14e-8be1-45e3-9e53-62dbafedf0dd.jpg?v=1791572184","url":"https:\/\/www.ridemore.fi\/en\/products\/rex-transformer-chainwax","provider":"Ride More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
