The SDS for the new UFO Drip formulation.
The lubricant tested by Zero Friction was the old formulation. That report has been around for quite a while and the SDS that I linked to is from 2017.

Granted Ceramic Speed changed the formulation and SDS in 2020. Maybe their new formula may be all the things they say it is but the new SDS is rather sparse in details…only one ingredient of less than 1% is listed…which makes it difficult to judge their claims. The 2017 SDS lists wax as one of the ingredients in the safety sheet as having an exposure limit. It’s not listed in the new SDS but it obviously has to be there.

Finally, I’ll remind you again that you said that drip waxes as a class are bad lubricants. Having 9 out of 10 of the top ten lubricants on the Zero Friction list does not support that argument.
