Product detailed description

Paraffin Glide Wax SWIX LF07X, 60g, -2°C to -8°C

Temperature range from -2°C to -8°C

This new wax with an improved formula is suitable for typical winter conditions below freezing. Its hardness makes it easy to work with and achieves high-quality results.

It can be used as a race wax in low humidity, but it will also work excellently as a training wax. If used as a base for Cera F, we recommend the new powder wax FC07X.

Recommended ironing temperature: 140°C.

LFX Waxes with Low Fluorocarbon Content

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

Application Process for Glide Waxes - CH, LF, and HF

This process is a general recommendation from top service technicians

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 any remaining wax.
3. Apply the appropriate wax according to the day's conditions. Using an iron, drip the wax on both sides of the groove. The wax should melt easily. Check the recommended ironing temperatures for the given 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. Allow the ski to cool to room temperature for about 10 minutes.
5. Do not forget 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 prevent the scraper from jumping out of the groove and 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 should be scraped after the ski cools to room temperature, about 10 minutes.
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.
