Yeah I was looking at this one: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/250g-8-8-oz-98-5-Molybdenum-Disulfide-MoS2-Powder-Reagent-Lab-Chemical/292695338333 As shipping to NL makes the Amazon one quite expensive.
Tijmen-
Also, have you seen this stuff? MSW do a powder, combo of teflon and MoS2 for race prepping chains: https://inaspin.co.uk/products/molten-speed-wax-race-powder-55g-1
Given my main aim was simply to make everything on my drivetrain cleaner, I don't really want to be adding messy black powders into the mix. Maybe for the TT bike though.
hippy
This is what I'd looked at:
https://tailwind-coaching.com/2016/08/09/friction-facts-bicycle-chain-lube-process/
"If you're using MDS and/or PTFE, measure out the proper amount of each. You're looking for 1 gram of MDS and 5 grams of PTFE powder, and you can measure with a simple fine kitchen scale. To combat the mess (and the fact that MDS tends to permanently stain anything it touches) I measured out the lubricant powders into an old spice jar to keep the mess to a minimum.
Once the paraffin has liquefied, simply dump the lubricants into the hot wax. You'll want to vigorously stir in the powders to combine them as much as possible. Friction Facts recommends a battery powered milk frother, but I've made do with just an old chop-stick or a screwdriver."
Doesn't look like MoS2 Molybdenum Disulfide powder is too common in the UK. Wait, just found some on Amazon:

Teflon powder on ebay:
