Using wax as a chain lubricant has been around for a long time. The Chain Dip staff used paraffin for years before formulating a better product. Here are two companies that are selling paraffin wax as bike chain lubricants. Molten Speed Wax is food grade paraffin wax, in bead form,  with PTFE (Trade name is Teflon) added as a extra lubricant. What we have found is the PTFE takes away the "clean factor" of the paraffin wax on the chain, one of the main reasons we love Chain Dip so much. Runaway Bike Hot Tub is a plastic tub of paraffin that you drop into a hot pot of water to melt, and they have also started selling separate bottles of PTFE you can add to the mix.

Both Molten and Runaway have cleaning and application info on there sites, but neither has any indication of what temperature to melt the wax to, This can make a huge difference on the thickness of wax on the chain, and how well it will lubricate. You can find out more about Chain Dip temperature application here. We also recommend different temperatures of the wax bath, depending on your riding conditions.. 

​We tried both. We've had friends try them. You can try them too. Then try Chain Dip, and make up your own mind.
