What is Ceramic Lube?

Ben Noll

Ceramic lubes are synthetic or wax-based lubricant that is infused with little nanoparticles of boron nitride. These particles embed themselves onto the chain, displacing dirt buildup. With additional applications of the ceramic lube, a coating will form that protects the chain from dirt and performance wear. Ceramic lube also comes in both dry and wet versions for various riding conditions although it is worth noting that because of the coating even the dry lube will be more resistant to be washed off than standard dry lube.
