Swix CH Hydrocarbon Glide Wax

CH stands for Hydrocarbon. This category has no fluorocarbon material in the blends. They are 100% high performance hydrocarbon paraffins. Although they can be looked upon as an economical racing wax group, the colder waxes perform very well alone, and the warmer waxes make an acceptable base layer for Cera F. Their colors and temperature ranges coincide with the HF and LF Waxes. The CH waxes can be distinguished from the LF waxes by their darker shade of color.

Features of Swix CH Hydrocarbon Glide Wax:

• CH4 Green - -10ºC to -32ºC (14ºF to -25ºF). CH4 is slightly harder than HF4 and LF4. Can be used alone or mixed with other LF or HF waxes to increase durability on aggressive snow. In dry conditions can it be used up to -5ºC. (Is often used alone in World Cup Racing.) Should be scraped while still warm. Recommended iron temperature setting of 150ºC.
• CH6 Blue - -6ºC to -12ºC (21ºF to 10ºF). For common cold conditions. Contains also some synthetic wax, which makes it durable in aggressive snow. Good training wax alone. It offers good glide plus base protection at an economical price. Recommended iron temperature setting of 140ºC.
• CH7 Violet - -2ºC to -8ºC (28ºF to 18ºF). CH7 is a good general purpose pre-wax and travel wax because its range for use falls in the middle of the Cera Nova system. CH7 makes a good base bonding wax for either warmer or colder waxes applied later. For summer and glacier skiing and riding it provides good glide plus good base protection especially when mixed with CH3. Recommended iron temperature setting of 135ºC.
• CH8 Red - +1ºC to -4ºC (34ºF to 25ºF). A very good, reliable and economical racing wax, as well as a general base prep wax and travel wax for cold skis. Recommended iron temperature setting of 120ºC.
• CH10 Yellow - +10ºC to 0ºC (50ºF to 32ºF). For very wet, saturated snow. This is the Worlds most frequently used wax for base prep/saturation and as travel wax for warm skis. Recommended iron temperature setting of 110ºC.
• CH12 Combi - Combi-package that contains CH6 Blue 20 g, CH7 Violet 20 g, and CH8 Red 20 g.
