>>971691The ceramic they are using is probably something called "cubic boron nitride".A "dry" lubricant just like teflon,molybdenum/tungsten disulfide,graphite etc
Its added as a dope to lubricants as friction modifiers or a EP(extreme pressure)additive where if the oil lubricant is displaced its act as a "last resort"lubricant,reducing metal on metal contact.
The choice of (in this case)dry lubricant doesn't make or break the characteristics of lube,its viscosity,temperature behavior(becoming less or more viscous at different temperatures)and choice of other so called dopes or additives are much more important overal.
Lookup "lubricant additives" to see what they put in lubes(not necessarily chain lubes only)
Some anecdotal "evidence"
Ive tried and have more than 13 (chain specific) lubricants,11 of the wet type and 2 of the dry type
At the absolute shit eating bottom is WD-40 Bike specific "DRY" lube with PTFE(teflon)
It stays "wet" is messy,cannt possibly lube well as it stay soooo thin and it makes my chain juuuust a smidge noisier.
Smells strongly like a lemon scented cleaning agent..yuck
The best one is the one I purchased most recently
Kroon oil teftec DS(dry season)
It also has ptfe as additive,but this one keeps my chain clean by not making the surface of the chain stay wet to the touch,makes my chain much more quiet and last many,many more miles the the WD40 bike product.
I hope this helps
