Product detailed description

Paraffin, Glide Wax SWIX LF05X, 60g, -8°C to -14°C

Temperature range from -8°C to -14°C

The 5 series is a brand new addition to the Cera Nova X wax range, filling the gap between the 4 and 6 series. Compared to the 4 series, it is easier to apply, offers exceptional glide properties within its temperature range, and is highly durable.

LF05X can be used on its own as a race wax but is often used as a base wax for powder Cera F, such as FC05X.

Recommended ironing temperature: 150°C.

LFX Waxes with Low Fluorocarbon Content

LFX waxes are fluorinated hydrocarbon waxes with low fluorine content and a low melting point.
They are primarily used for training or racing in combination with Cera F as a top layer or on their own as race waxes at very low temperatures.
The temperature range and colors of the LFX series correspond to the HFX category but differ in the 60-gram packaging. LFX waxes differ from CHX waxes by being somewhat more transparent.

1. Scrape off the travel wax applied after the last race or training using a plexi scraper SWIX T823 and a groove scraper SWIX T88.
2. Brush with a medium-coarse bronze brush SWIX T162 or a steel brush SWIX T179. 5-10 strokes from tip to tail and remove the remaining wax.
3. Apply the appropriate wax according to daily conditions. Use an iron to drip the wax on both sides of the groove. The wax should melt easily. Check the recommended ironing temperatures for the wax. Keep the iron moving smoothly from tip to tail of the ski. One pass should take approximately 8-10 seconds for skating skis.
4. Repeat 3 times. Let the ski cool to room temperature for about 10 minutes.
5. Remember to remove all excess wax in the groove and on both sides of the groove using a scraper SWIX T87 or SWIX T88. It is recommended to scrape the groove before scraping the base to avoid leaving scratches on the already scraped base.
6. If working with hard and brittle waxes, such as SWIX CH4X/CH6X, LF4X/LF6X, or HF4X/HF6X, scrape off as much wax as possible before it hardens. Once the ski cools, continue scraping with a sharp plexi scraper SWIX T823. Other waxes like SWIX CH7X/CH8X/CH10X, LF7X/LF8X/LF10X, or HF7X/HF8X/HF10X are scraped after the ski cools to room temperature, approximately 10 minutes later.
7. Brush the base with a medium-coarse bronze brush SWIX T162 or a steel brush SWIX T179. 5-10 strokes.
8. For final brushing and polishing, use a blue nylon polishing brush SWIX T160.
