Arctic Base Powder Additive is a hard powder paraffin for training use and competition. Specially designed for abrasive snow conditions and artificial snow when temperature -30°C...-10°C. Racing use when air humidity < 30%. In the case of old icy and very abrasive snow (spring snow and glacier snow) this paraffin can be used as a top layer over the fluorocarbon waxes FP4 to increase their durability. The final result will be a lower hydrophobia. It is also used as universal hardener to protect polyethylene ski base near steel edges. Applied by the hot application method with a waxing iron.

2. Fix the paraffin each 20 cm. with the waxing iron at a suggested temperature of 150°C. and spread it immediately with a regular forward movement. Repeat the same procedure on all the ski base, then carry out a final passage from the tip to the tail (nearly 3 cm. per second);
3. Wait at least 15 minutes for the ski wax to harden and the ski base to cool down;
4. Remove the was in excess with a sharp plexy scraper;
5. Clean the ski sides and edges from hardened paraffin by the plexy scraper;
6. Brush the ski base with a soft steel or a soft brass manual brush;
