LP15 YELLOW

Solid paraffin with low fluorine content for training and sports use. To be used for snow from -3° to +9°C. It is an excellent base product for saturating racing insoles. For competitive use it should be used with air humidity > 50%. Hot application with waxing iron.

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 paraffins hydrocarbons;
Fluorinated hydrocarbon paraffin alone or mixed with other hydrocarbon paraffins;
Perfluorinated wax FP4 alone or mixed with other perfluorinated waxes but in any case overlaid with 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 based on the physical condition of the products and the experience of the skiman.

APPLICATION METHOD WITH WAXING IRON

• Rub the stick of paraffin over the entire base leaving a uniform layer of product.
• With the iron at a temperature of 120°C. melt the wax with a smooth back and forth motion and finally perform a continuous transition from tip to tail at a constant speed (about 5 cm. per second).
• Wait at least 15 minutes to allow the solidification of the wax and the cooling of the base;
• Remove the excess wax with a sharp plexiglas spatula, exerting little pressure;
• Free the side of the ski and the lateral face of the edges from the solidified paraffin;
• Release the impression with a stiff nylon manual brush;
• Brush the impression with a manual or rotating stiff horsehair brush;
• Polish the impression with a manual or rotating soft nylon brush.
