DESCRIPTION
Solid paraffin for training and sports use. To be used for snow from -19° -9°C. For competitive use at air humidity < 50%. Hot application with 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 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
Drip the paraffin pellet onto the base for 20 cm, placing it in contact with the base of the waxing iron at a temperature of 140°C.
Then spread the wax in a regular forward motion (from tip to tail). Repeat the operation for the entire base and finally perform a continuous pass from tip to tail (about 3 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 soft steel hand brush;
- Brush the impression with manual or rotary brush made of stiff horsehair;
- Polish the impression with hand brush or rotating soft nylon brush.
