SOLDA has done it again. They have created a new glide wax formula that could enhance both glide quality and durability. The new hard wax blocks are called F40 SPECIAL. Here is what the guys in Italy have told us:
F40 SPECIAL has a very high content of the same nearly pure fluoro-powder that composes HP05.
When the humidity is not very high (let's say up to 70%), a single application of F40 SPECIAL ensures a superb glide, without need of a second layer with HP05. In other words, this saves time in waxing and money or HP05.
Also - When the humidity is over 70%, a lower amount of HP05 is needed over a layer of paraffin ( such as F15, or F31, or F40 ). Obviously, in conditions of very high humidity, a layer of F40 SPECIAL + a layer of HP05 delivers unchallenged skis.
F40 SPECIAL should be used under 2 circumstances:
When the race is VERY LONG and you wish to keep glide advantage as long as possible, beyond the wearing off of the layer of HP05 made over a base of a fluorinated paraffin (F15, F31, F40). In other words, as the layer of HP05 is subject to the direct contact with snow, it is going to wear off when snow is very abrasive. After this has happened, with a base of F40 SPECIAL you will still have superb glide (as your basic layer of paraffin has a very high content of HP05).
When you wish to have the utmost performance, regardless the length of the race.
So, there you have it, straight from the wax experts in Italy at the SOLDA plant. May you have faster skis that last longer.
