Ever seen a block of wax with Teflon in it? Would like to use something like that to rub onto the chain and not have to use liquids. I think it would work just fine?

I note a question mark at the end of the post, so I'll ask you one back.

Since chains have to be lubricated internally where the parts move against each other (think door hinge), how do you suppose your solid material rubbed onto the outside would get to where it's needed?

OTOH, teflon powder is available as are waxes with various melting points, so nothing stops you from melting some wax, stirring in some teflon, and making your own bar to experiment with.

flourinated ski wax is a ready made solution but is not cheap. Flouro-powder overlay, which is basically teflon powder, for skis could be mixed with a less expensive wax to make a teflon saturated wax as FBNY suggested. The main thing that keeps skiers from making their own flouro-wax coctail is the outrageous price for teflon in its powder form. To be cost effective one has to buy in extremely large quantities that make it highly impractical to produce for self use. If you still decide to make some, realize that if you heat teflon up past a certain point it produces a vapor that is toxic.

I always leave the chain on my bike once installed. However, if you remove for cleaning and lube, you could devise a hot dip similar to what is used at the factory.

And while it's all melted, why not drop the chain in and let the molten wax/teflon penetrate into those tight spaces you're unlikely to reach with a stick of wax?

What you propose is similar to waxing the body of your car when what you really need to is an oil change for the engine.

Teflon is a plastic solid, its used in gaskets on A bombs.

its the manufacturing that shreds it small .

These days teflon comes in super fine particle size, nano, and what not, it coats fine when added to oil, and there are spray cans with this stuff that dries up in minutes. I don't know about the solid stick, but I think you will get the best result with something like Finish Line Ceramic Wax Lube, both when it comes to time spent on maintanance and lubrication performance. Why would you need to have it in solid form? Like others mentioned here, the wax would have to be melted into a liquid to get where it needs to go.
