The stuff on SRAM chains is Gleitmo but I've never read what Shimano and others put on their chains - but it isn't Gleitmo. Sram's tech rep Ed always preached that the Gleitmo should NOT be cleaned off new chains but they should be installed and ridden until dry and then lubed over with the lube of your choice. He said the Shimano lube should be cleaned off before use and lube installed.
