HOLMENKOL History
HOLMENKOL – The license to win! HOLMENKOL is best known for being the oldest ski wax manufacturer in the world. Dr. Fischer established the company “Vereinigte Wachswarenfabrik AG, Hornung u. Dr. Fischer” in 1922 in Ditzingen, Germany. At that time, Max Fischer, Doctor of Chemistry, and himself an enthusiastic ski jumper, was mainly involved in the development of floor waxes, floor stains and household candles. It soon became clear to Dr. Fischer that his professional knowledge could also be beneficial to his hobby – and so he mixed parafins and other waxes in his laboratory and used them on his skies. The result was remarkable, the wooden skies no longer became soaked in water, their gliding was superior and Dr. Fischer was able to derive even more pleasure from his ski jumping. In the very year when the company was established, the second product group was born – the ski wax range, named after the founder of the company’s favourite ski jump in Oslo – the “HOLMENKOLLEN”. By 1948, the company had already achieved a pioneering breakthrough. A wax system was developed on the basis of synthetic raw materials, whereby the colours (silver/red/blue) of the ski wax characterized the respective area of use. The blue wax was used for cold temperatures, the red for warmer temperatures and the silver wax was applied to the skis if the snow was wet, dirty or slushy. The market standard had been set. The meteoric development of ski coatings, particularly since the 1970’s, has obviously also had an effect on ski wax technology. In close collaboration with the ski and raw materials industries, new waxes were developed, which were regularly tested and assessed by internationally experienced racers, wax teams from different ski manufacturers and national teams. The HOLMENKOL product philosophy is to achieve the highest standards of ski wax to suit the requirements of the racing world.
4 | HOLMENKOL History
Fluorine waxes were used for the first time in the end of the 1980s. HOLMENKOL successfully launched the additive system on the market. The TopSpeed series, which was developed at the beginning of the 1990s, set benchmarks in Racing Finish and helped the world‘s elite to numerous victories. The venture for new technological development was initiated through the foundation of HOLMENKOL Sport-Technologies GmbH & Co. KG, a joint venture between LOBA and NANOGATE, in 2002. The creation of high performance products and the ability to market these successfully has been due to the more than 80 years of profound knowledge and experience in the ski wax development, plus due to the know-how and access to nanotechnology. HybridFX, NanoSpeed and SpeedBlock have been well-known for years. With the development of nano-CFC® technology in the last two years, HOLMENKOL has now opened new doors to gliding wax development, whose dimensions are not yet foreseeable. The resulting SpeedPowders have already, during its testing phase, caused many victories in the Nordic and Alpine Skiing World Cup. HOLMENKOL is not just a manufacturer of skiing wax. The development department has for several years been researching and developing coatings for different sporting activities, for example sliding and protective coatings for cycling and water sports. Also special detergents and waterproofings for sports and functional clothing have been developed and have encountered bright enthusiasm among users. Several patents have been granted. In conclusion, lessons and experience gained during development all help the progress in the field of snow sports. A new leaf in the HOLMENKOL-history turned over in 2008 with the transformation into the HOLMENKOL AG. To be continued… HOLMENKOL History | 5
Proper preparation first demands an understanding of snow!
There are good reasons why in former times proper waxing of the skis was regarded as “black magic”, comparable with the occult of the alchemists in the Middle Ages: In its different forms, snow is just as diverse as nature itself. Its character depends on a large number of factors such as temperature, humidity, age and crystalline structure. Modern skiwax makes it easy today even for beginners to make the right choice – as long as he can form a clear picture of the condition of the snow and its possible changes during the course of a day. Here – in very simple terms – are the four basic types of snow:
New snow is a crystalline, unadulterated form of the snowflake with delicate crystals which – depending on the temperature – are harder at low temperatures and softer at higher temperature. These delicate crystals can be easily compacted during gliding and cause a friction/suction effect which can be degreased with an appropriate wax mixture and corresponding base structure. Fine-grained snow (old snow) has already undergone one or more transformation processes as a result of temperature changes which have caused the outer tips of the crystals to melt or break off and have led to a grain structure. Compared with new snow, the suction effect is less pronounced and the friction effect increases. Depending on the temperature the snow can be damp and heavily infiltrated with water or can be dried out by the cold and wind.
6 | Snow information
Coarse-grained snow (old snow) has completely lost its original texture due to repeated melting and freezing processes and been transformed into a snow grain, in other words has become metamorphosed. We speak of old snow or coarse-grained snow. Depending on the grain size, a distinction is made between coarse-grained and fine-grained old snow (grain size between 1 and 3 mm). The most common forms of coarse-grained snow are firn snow and crusted snow. Artificial snow or “man made snow� challenges waxers particularly due to its aggressiveness. Because of its high density and inhomogeneous form, this snow is very dull and demands a particularly high abrasion resistance of the wax. The snow surface changes after a few transformation processes into more crystalline forms, the glide properties improve and less hard waxes can be used again. Despite its unfavorable characteristics, this is the most frequently encountered snow type at international events.
Snow information | 7
Influences on the choice of wax
Temperature As the world’s first wax company, HOLMENKOL has taken not only the air temperature more importantly the snow temperature and snow type, snow texture as well as snow moisture content and relative humidity into consideration during the development of its waxes. For this reason, HOLMENKOL indicates the corresponding snow temperatures as the application temperatures for its gliding waxes. Due to its greater heat capacity, snow changes its temperature far more slowly than the air; this means that the snow temperature remains more constant even under extreme weather conditions (such as High Dry Winds) than the air temperature. As a result, significant differences in temperature between air and snow can occur. Snow texture and snow moisture content The snow texture gives the most important indication as to the choice of the optimum wax. The grain size of the snow influences the abrasion resistance (friction effects) and the snow moisture content the glide properties (suction effects). HOLMENKOL differentiates between new snow and fine-grained/coarse-grained old snow and artificial snow. These snow types can also occur as dry, damp or wet snow. Each of these combinations influences the choice of the ideal wax, under certain conditions the snow can be very damp, while at the same time consisting of sharp, hard crystals. In this case a very abrasion-resistant wax is needed which also offers excellent water-repellent properties. HOLMENKOL has taken the importance of snow texture as an important factor in the wax development with the introduction of the Hybrid Technology.
8 | Wax choice

This technology permits an unrivalled combination of abrasion-resistant materials which nevertheless exhibit the best possible water-repellent properties. For this reason the otherwise problematical artificial snow no longer presents any difficulties for the choice of wax. Furthermore, the snow texture is significantly affected by the wind. New snow or damp old snow is quickly dried out by the wind. The snow becomes more aggressive and harder wax mixtures are needed although the snow temperature remains the same. In addition, strong wind breaks down the fine crystalline structures of new snow and the snow surface. This leads to a compaction of the snow and higher friction effects between snow and ski base.
Wax choice | 9
Base science
Modern ski and board bases must satisfy the following demands: They should be elastic and at the same time they should withstand the highest possible loads. For this reason, sintered bases are predominantly employed in racing today. Sintered bases can be produced with a wide range of different additives, each base form offers special qualities for particular conditions. Transparent sintered bases This base type is characterised by greater toughness, but nevertheless without any reduced wax absorption ability. Graphite bases Graphite protects the base against impurities thanks to its anti-static properties. With their good thermal conductivity, graphite bases provide good glide properties particularly in wet snow. Multi-sinter bases (different molecular weights of the individual components) Multi-sinter bases have outstanding all-round properties and they are suitable for cross country and downhill skis as well as for snow boards since they exhibit good glide properties in all temperature ranges. Grinding machine Fig: Reichmann
10 | Base science
Structure science
The structure of the ski base (the contact surface between the ski and snow) has impact on the gliding character of the ski. Due to this gliding process friction is caused by the snow crystals and suction by the water, contained in the snow. Special structures reduce these effects or even eliminate them. Base structures are produced by stone grind machines. Stone grinds are offered by the qualified specialized trade.

Instructions for the application temperature are given on the packaging of all HOLMENKOL waxes. Nevertheless, certain precautions have to be made and certain rules observed during the work in any workshop when preparing ski or boards: • Ensure good ventilation of the working area at all times! • Do not expose waxes to naked flames! • Do not smoke during the application! • Use special wax irons only! • The specific wax temperatures should not be exceeded! (Avoid causing smoke!) • Race waxes should be ironed in at 115°C to max. 140°C and Speed products at 150°C to 160°C. Higher temperatures are not necessary. HOLMENKOL® waxes are NOT toxic and have NO adverse environmental effects. However when using at temperatures above 165 °C (330 °F) toxic compounds may be produced. Do not use near an open fire, a glowing fire or equipment with exposed heating elements. When working in and brushing off, significant amounts of particulate matter may be produced. Ensure good ventilation during work and use breathing protection if possible, particularly during brushing. • If sprays are used, ensure a good ventilation and do not breath in the fumes. • Ensure good ventilation using base cleaners. Do not breath in vapour directly. • Use of gloves during edge preparation is recommended.
Safety during waxing | 13
Edge tuning Tuning of the edges involves the following working steps: 1. Examine the base 2. Tuning the base edge 3. Tuning the side edge 4. Edge finish 5. Edge repair
1. Examination of the base The running face should be inspected using the HOLMENKOL straight edge true bar. The following pictures can occur: 1.1 Concave base
Base hollow towards the middle. Ski/board rests on the edge, is therefore difficult to turn and tends to cut.
1.2 Convex base
Base curved towards the outer edges. Edges have poor contact. Ski/board feels difficult to establish good edge grip & control.
1.3 Flat base
The tread is plane from edge to edge. Ski/ board rests on the ski base and edge and is easy to control/turn with the right edgetuning. If the ski/board is not perfectly flat, we recommend that you have the ski/board ground plane by a qualified ski service shop.
2. Tuning of the base edge (hanging cut) The base edge should be prepared using the HOLMENKOL BaseEdge FileGuide, with slightly greater base edge angle at the tip and tail to aid in smooth turn initiation. 0,5–1,5
0–0,5
vorne 5–10 cm
14 | Edge tuning
0,5–1,5
hinten 5–10 cm
3. Side Edge Tuning (=back cut) The side edges are precisely relief-ground using edge grinders. The side edge angle is prepared depending the discipline (e.g. downhill/ Super G/giant slalom: 88°– 87°, special slalom 88°– 86°). 87
Professional side edge preparation occurs using professional tools (e.g. SteelEdge WorldCup, CarveEdge and SideWall Planer). 4. Edge finish Freshly ground and extremely sharp edges at the end of the ski/ board and in the blade area prevent the ski/board from turning easily and lead quickly to errors. For this reason, the edges in the front and rear area are slightly eased over a length of 5 to 15 cm. The edge grip is maintained and the ski/board is easy to handle in turns. Edges at the front and rear end of the ski/board, which have nothing to do with the ride characteristics of the ski/board (the part of the edge which has no contact with the track by a straight position of the ski) should be rounded. 5. Edge repair Stones on the track can cause hardening in the edge as the contact between edge and stone briefly generates a great heat. The surface of the edge is changed as a result and it becomes more dense than the surrounding material. These spots are very difficult if not impossible to remove with conventional files. Inaccurate work is the result. These hard spots can only removed by using the Diamond File blue or the Aluoxyd stone. Finish with the Diamond File green or red.

Base preparation of new skis New skis and new grinded skis have to be basically prepared before the first use. The first preparation is important for a deep saturation of the ski base with skiwax. By the manufacturing process and the mechanical grinding small hairs accrue, which have to be removed by this base preparation. It is also a base protection for edge preparation.
1
2
Fix the ski always in a special ski vice.
If the ski has been freshly grinded, remove the fine base hairs with a sharp scraper (plastic or steel).
3
Grind the ski/board flat from front to rear with the RacingFile. In the front and rear section, grind the edge with the BaseEdge FileGuide with an overhang of 1째 to 1,5째 (accordingly to use and skiing skills).
4
Clean the ski base with Cleaner or WaxAb and Fleece.
5
Roughen the ski base lightly with the green SkiPad to improve the wax absorption.
26 | Base preparation of new skis
6
Wax with base wax (AlphaMix Yellow oder BetaMix Red), allow to cool down and scrap off again. Thus the treat is now protected against soiling during the further preparation of the side edge.
TIP In order to avoid burning the ski base, skiwax can also be applied by using the HOLMENKOL WaxFleece.
