No but TriFlow would be classified as a “light, thin oil” as compared to, say, Phil Tenacious oil which has a much higher viscosity. Bicycle chains don’t need a thick viscous oil…or much lubrication at all, for that matter)

That’s not what the quote you posted says. It says

No mention of PTFE. Nor does TriFlow have that much PTFE in it. Nor is any polytetrafluoroethylene dissolved in any thing that contains it. PTFE is a polymer that is unreactive with just about anything in the world. You can tear the molecule apart with some pretty nasty conditions. It will react with molten alkali metals like sodium and potassium and there are some magnesium based materials that will destroy it but none of those are likely to be encountered…even in a laboratory.

The PTFE in TriFlow, or in anything else, is there as small unreactive particles. The particles slip along each other but they aren’t in any lubricant that claims to contain them in a very high concentrations. The PTFE certainly isn’t the majority of the material in TriFlow. It is largely oil…about 50%…and solvent…also about 50%…with some amyl acetate added for that highly recognizable odor of bananas.

That’s kind of what I said. If the point is to just clean the outside, TriFlow would work as well, as would WD-40. Mineral spirits works ever better without leaving behind an oil

I remove it (completely) because the factory wax can get black and messy. I then drip wax with White Lightning and don’t need to clean it again until the chain is worn out.
