Product detailed description

Paraffin, glide wax SWIX LF08X, 180g, -4°C to +4°C, service pack

SERVICE PACK WITHOUT LID!

Temperature range from -5°C to -10°C

Our standard LF6 was one of the greatest successes of the original Cera Nova wax system, and through thorough testing, we have not found a better alternative.

This wax is highly flexible. It can be used as a base under the powder Cera F, as a racing or base wax for cold skis. LF06X is highly durable and performs well on artificial snow. When used as a base for Cera F, we recommend the FC06X powder wax.

Recommended ironing temperature: 145°C.

SWIX LFX waxes with low fluorocarbon content. CERA NOVA RACING category 4.

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 racing waxes at very low temperatures. The temperature range and colors of the LFX waxes correspond to the HFX category, but differ from it by a 60-gram packaging. LFX waxes differ from CHX waxes by their somewhat more transparent appearance.

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 the daily conditions. With the help of 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 in smooth motion from tip to tail of the ski. One stroke 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. Don't forget to remove all excess wax in the groove and on both sides of the groove using a scraper SWIX T87 or SWIX T88. We recommend scraping the groove before scraping the base in case the scraper jumps out of the groove and could leave scratches on the already scraped base.
6. If working with hard and brittle waxes like 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 after 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.
