Abstract
Fluorinated solvents are used for the application of fluorinated waxes to skis without impairing the physico-mechanical characteristics of the ski sole. The fluorinated waxes are applied to skis in the form of a spray or an aerosol allowing for quick and effective application of high melting point fluorinated waxes onto ski soles. The fluorinated solvent may be one or more linear, branched, cross-linked, or cyclic perfluorinated compounds having a boiling temperature ranging between 30° C. and 150° C., and preferably between 50° C. and 100° C. Fluorinated waxes can be dissolved in such solvents, and the mixtures of fluorinated waxes and solvents are stored in spray cans and are sprayed onto the ski soles as aerosols or as sprays.
Claims25
A sprayable composition comprising at least one fluorinated solvent and at least one fluorinated wax, wherein said at least one fluorinated solvent comprises at least one perfluorinated compound selected from the group consisting of linear, branched, cross-linked, and cyclic perfluorinated compounds having a boiling point from 30° C. to 150° C.
A method for applying a fluorinated wax to a ski sole comprising dissolving at least one fluorinated wax having at least twelve carbon atoms per molecule in a perfluorinated solvent having a boiling point of about 30° C. to about 150° C. to obtain a sprayable composition and spraying said sprayable composition on said ski sole.
