Special synthetic hydrocarbon powder wax to add to other waxes to increase their durability and to protect the wax layers
In conditions when the base is subject to extensive wear from e.g. new artificial snow, the relevant wax for the conditions is applied and ironed in first.
Apply the CH3X to the base when the wax is still liquid/hot. Then iron the CH3X powder into the wax layer. Allow to cool then scrape off and brush away any excess wax.
