ARC METADDITIVE RACING POWDER

RACING POWDER

Powders are made from a blend of microcrystalline paraffin wax and different Metadditive^®, depending on the humidity of the snow and/or air. A small amount of powder must be melted together with a RACING BASE or a RACING BASE blend. They are very simple to use: first apply the RB paraffin with the iron, then place a strip of powder on the still-hot layer and iron a second time, raising the temperature to 140°C. To determine how much powder to add, use the ring at the bottom of the cap/dispenser, filling it to the brim (a full fill contains 1g of powder). The quantities to use are:

• 1 ring for ALPINE and CROSS-COUNTRY SKIING;
• 1 and ½ ring and for KL and JUMPING;
• 2 rings for SNOWBOARDING.

DRY POWDER

Microcrystalline wax with Metadditive^® for professional racing use in low humidity conditions: natural and artificial dry snow, windy, fine and particularly abrasive.

VARIO POWDER

Microcrystalline wax with Metadditive^® for professional racing use in intermediate humidity conditions: natural and artificial snow in transformation, winter icy snow and abrasive iced grainy snow.

WET POWDER

Microcrystalline wax with Metadditive^® for professional racing use in high humidity conditions, natural and mixed artificial snow from polish and compact falling snow to transformed icy, wet and granita.

ENDURANCE POWDER

Microcrystalline wax with specific dirt-repellent and friction-reducing Metadditive^® for any type of natural artificial and mixed snow. It is ideal for prolonged periods without snowfall when the snow becomes increasingly dirty and is particularly suitable for long-distance competitions (nordic skiing) and high-speed competitions (alpine skiing) where friction reduction is key. It can be mixed with solid RB or MIX products or other powders, respecting the quantities indicated above.

The use of POWDER waxes with Metadditive^® is recommended for those who can test the type and quantity of powder (DRY-VARIO-WET-ENDURANCE) to add to the RB paraffins. This application system is highly professional and allows you to choose and customize the type and quantity of Metadditive^® you want to use, creating the optimal mix based on the environmental conditions found on site. If it is not possible to test POWDERS, we have simplified the choice available to technicians and athletes by creating the RACING MIX additive paraffins (20-40-60). The three MIX products created have been validated by numerous winning tests in the World Cup and European Cup of biathlon, nordic skiing, alpine skiing, ski-cross and snowboard-cross by several technicians belonging to different nations.
