DESCRIPTION
Solid base paraffin for use on snow from -2° to 0°C. It is an excellent base product for the saturation and protection of race bases. It has a melting temperature of 48°C. It is therefore an optimal product for hot saturation of the bases with the heat bag or thermo blanket. Hot application with a waxing iron.
APPLICATION METHODOLOGY
GENERAL PRINCIPLES
The application of hydrocarbon paraffins (Racing Base or BP10), fluorinated hydrocarbon paraffins (LP15, LP2 or HP3) and perfluorinated waxes FP4 allows for certain overlaps based on the following chemical affinities:
Hydrocarbon paraffin alone or mixed with other hydrocarbon paraffins;
Fluorinated hydrocarbon paraffin alone or mixed with other hydrocarbon paraffins;
Perfluorinated wax FP4 alone or mixed with other perfluorinated waxes but in any case superimposed on a fluorinated or high fluorinated hydrocarbon paraffin (LP2 or HP3) .
The direction in waxing operations must always be from the tip to the tail of the tool.
Race waxing can be done hot or cold depending on the physical state of the products and the experience of the skiman.
APPLICATION METHOD WITH WAXING IRON
- Rub the paraffin lump all over the base, leaving an even layer of product.
- Using the waxing iron at a temperature of 110°C., melt the wax in a regular forward and backward motion and then make a continuous pass from tip to tail at a constant speed (approx. 5 cm per second).
- Wait at least 15 minutes to allow the wax to solidify and the base to cool;
- Remove excess wax with a well-sharpened Plexiglas spatula, exerting little pressure;
- Remove the solidified paraffin from the side of the ski and the side of the edges;
- Free the impression with a stiff nylon hand brush;
- Brush the impression with a manual or rotating stiff horsehair brush;
- Polish the impression with hand brush or rotating soft nylon brush.
