We have a hot melt wax that is more directly comparable to MSW in terms of application except we use Tungsten Disulfide instead of Molybdenum Disulfide, that product tests slight faster (0.1-0.2w) than MSW in our testing. It also comes in a bag that you can boil to melt the wax if you don't already have a dedicated crock pot.
Our drip wax tests just 0.2 watts slower than MSW (~0.3-0.4w slower than our hot wax). Since the liquid wax has a carrier that dries, it can never fully fill the chain as much as the hot wax.. so even if you immerse and get 100% penetration with the liquid (as ZeroFriction showed us was possible!) the evaporation of the carrier will leave you more like 92% full of wax in the end. With hot melt, 100% is 100% so the differences are small, but measurable.
