HP3 YELLOW 1

Solid paraffin with a high fluoride content for competitive use as a finishing product or as a base for applying FP4 fluorinated waxes. Use on snow temperatures from -4° to 0°C. Humidity from 60% to 100%. The ideal choice for shiny, sticky snow. Apply hot with a waxing iron.

GENERAL PRINCIPLES

The application of hydrocarbon paraffins (Med or Soft Racing Base or BP1), fluorinated hydrocarbon paraffins (LP2 or HP3) and perfluorinated waxes FP4 allows certain overlaps based on the following chemical affinities:
Hydrocarbon paraffin alone (Med or Soft Racing Base or BP1) or mixed with other hydrocarbon paraffins;
Fluorinated hydrocarbon paraffin alone (LP2 or HP3) or mixed with other hydrocarbon paraffins;
Perfluorinated wax FP4 alone or mixed with other perfluorinated waxes but in any case superimposed on a fluorinated hydrocarbon paraffin (LP2 or HP3).
The direction in waxing operations must always be from the tip to the tail of the tool.
Racing waxing can be done hot or cold depending on the physical state of the products and the experience of the skiman.

APPLICATION METHOD WITH WAXING IRON

• Rub the paraffin block over the entire insole, leaving an even layer of product.
• Using the waxing iron at a temperature of 120°C, melt the wax with a regular forward and backward movement and finally perform a continuous pass from tip to tail at a constant speed (approximately 3 cm per second).
• - 2.b (mix with GREEN powder) On the layer of HP3 RED just melted, spread a layer of GREEN powder (the quantity depends on how new and abrasive the snow is, whether it is preserved crystal and/or artificial snow) and with the waxing iron at 130°C, perform a continuous pass from tip to tail at low speed (about 1cm per second) perfectly melting the powder into the solid paraffin underneath.
• Wait at least 15 minutes to allow the wax to solidify and the base to cool;
• Remove excess wax with a sharp plexiglass spatula, applying little pressure;
• Free the side of the ski and the lateral face of the edges from solidified paraffin;
• Free the imprint with a stiff nylon hand brush;
• Brush the impression with a manual or rotating brush made of stiff hair;
• Polish the impression with a manual or rotating soft nylon brush.
