Swix PM World Cup Powder Molybdenum, 25 g Glide Wax

Swix PM World Cup Powder Molybdenum, 25 g is a top-class glide-wax powder designed for skiing skis, especially developed for demanding and abrasive snow conditions where maximum performance is required.

🔎 What is this product?

It is a World Cup–level waxing powder that forms a hard and durable glide layer on the ski base.
Unlike white or clear base waxes, this is a black powder with added molybdenum.
Molybdenum acts as a solid lubricant: it reduces friction and improves durability in particularly abrasive and dirty conditions.

❄️ Operating conditions

Suitable for extremely abrasive snow types such as old, coarse, dirty, or icy snow.
Performs well across a wide temperature range of approximately –30 °C … +10 °C (some retailers mention this type of range).
Can be used in dry, medium-wet, and even wet snow – a versatile choice for competitions and intensive training.

🧰 How to use

Sprinkle the powder evenly onto the ski’s glide zone base.
Melt and seal the powder into the ski surface using a waxing iron (at least ~160 °C).
Let it cool, brush and/or finish – this gives you an optimal surface.
In many race practices, a brushing order is recommended, e.g., fleece → horsehair brush → nylon brush, to distribute the molybdenum evenly.

⚙️ Features & benefits
