LFX Waxes – with Fluorocarbon

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 wax series correspond to the HFX category, but differ with the 60g packaging. LFX waxes differ from CHX waxes by being slightly more transparent.

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

This procedure is a general recommendation from top service technicians.

1. Scrape off the travel wax applied after the last race or training using the plexi scraper SWIX T823 and groove scraper SWIX T88.
2. Brush with a medium coarse bronze brush SWIX T162 or steel brush SWIX T179. 5-10 strokes from tip to tail and remove remaining wax.
3. Apply the appropriate wax according to daily conditions. Use an iron to drip wax on both sides of the groove. The wax should melt easily. Check the recommended ironing temperatures for the wax. Keep the iron in smooth motion 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 the 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 are scraped after the ski cools to room temperature, about 10 minutes.
7. Brush the base with a medium coarse bronze brush SWIX T162 or steel brush SWIX T179. 5-10 strokes.
8. For final brushing and polishing, use a blue nylon polishing brush SWIX T160.
