New Fluor Chemistry and Fluor Free Wax

“Fluoro” have been for many years the reference in performance as additives for skiwax.

EU regulation produced by “ECHA” ( The European Agency for Chemestry) imposes that after July 2020 Fluorinated products containing “PFOA” can not be put onto the market. “PFOA” is not a key substance in skiwax, but it is an impurity. It is possible to produce Fluorinated skiwax with same performance as in the past respecting “ECHA” regulation.

FIS/IBU regulation impose that from season 2020/2021 in any FIS/IBU races it will not be allowed to use ANY FLUORINATED skiwax. FIS/IBU restriction is stricter than ECHA regulation where fluoro is allowed if it does not contain any PFOA.
