TS8B is harder than the other TS8 products in the PRO system. This extra hardness makes the wax more robust and so absorbs less dirt. The black additive reduces friction in polluted snow. This is particularly noticeable when the wax is used alone. The wax has very good test results on artificial snow and snow transformed into old natural snow. The speed of the waxing iron should be approx. 8-10 seconds for a skating or alpine ski. The wax can be reheated after cooling to room temperature (10 min.) for better durability. It is important to have a good waxing iron in order to melt the wax efficiently. TS8B can be used as a racing wax alone, but is also often used as a base wax for other racing products. Recommended waxing iron temperature 150°C.
