UVEX Swix Fluorocarbon Universal Wax ,

LF stands for Low Fluorocarbon. These are fluorinated hydrocarbon waxes having a lower percentage of fluoro additive. They are often used as training waxes. Can also be used as racing waxes with Cera F as a final layer, or alone as a race wax mostly at lower temperatures. The temperature ranges and wax colors of the LF waxes coincide with the HF category, however they are distinguished from the HF waxes by the 60 gram bar size. They are also available in packages of 180 gram. The LF waxes can be distinguished from the CH waxes by a slightly more transparent look.

Features of UVEX Swix Fluorocarbon Universal Wax:

• LF3 Cold Powder - -10ºC to -32ºC (14ºF to -25ºF). A very hard powder wax having a high content of fluorocarbon material. Used when the snow is very fine-grained and very cold. Easy to iron and scrape. Also helps to reduce base abrasion on cold, aggressive snow. Recommended iron temperature setting of 150-155ºC.
• LF4 Green - -10ºC to -32ºC (14ºF to -25ºF). For use alone at low humidity at very cold temperatures and harsh man-made snow. Recommended iron temperature setting of 150ºC.
• LF6 Blue - -6ºC to -12ºC (21ºF to 10ºF). Very good as a base layer for other waxes. Also a very good training and racing wax alone in low humidity conditions. At this temperature range the addition of synthetic waxes increase the resistance against wear on aggressive man-made snow. Recommended iron temperature setting of 140ºC.
• LF7 Violet - -2ºC to -8ºC (28ºF to 18ºF). Very good race wax at low humidity. For racing at normal and high humidity Cera F FC7 is recommended as final overlayer. Recommended iron temperature setting of 135ºC.
• LF8 Red - +1ºC to -4ºC (34ºF to 25ºF). The low-percent fluorocarbon counterpart to HF8. For racing it is recommended to use Cera F FC8X as the final overlayer within this temperature range. Also used very often as a wax for training, travelling and cleaning. Recommended iron temperature setting of 120ºC.
• LF10 Yellow - +10ºC to 0ºC (50ºF to 32ºF). For very wet conditions. Also good for base preparation and to protect the bases when traveling. The snow is often dirty at the temperatures calling for LF10, therefore an overlayer of Cera F FC10 is recommended. Recommended iron temperature setting of 110ºC.
• LF12 Combi - Combi-package that contains LF6 Blue 20 g, LF7 Violet 20 g, and LF8 Red 20 g.
