Glide Tape 2 Wide HF Ski Glide Wax vs Star Nf Non-Fluoro Ski Glide Wax 60 G: which is safer?

Where these two actually differ

• We flag Fluorinated coating composition (non-PFAS hazards), Inhalation of wax dust and particulates and Microplastic shedding into soil and water on the Optiwax and not on the Star Ski Wax.
• We flag Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) and mineral oil vapor, Skin sensitization or contact dermatitis and Ingestion risk in children on the Star Ski Wax and not on the Optiwax.
• The Optiwax is Ski glide wax (hydrocarbon base, fluorinated coating unknown) where the Star Ski Wax is hydrocarbon ski wax (non-fluorinated), which is most of the difference in these two grades.
• The gap is 50 points, wide enough that this is not a close call, and the Star Ski Wax is the one to buy.
• We are less certain about the Optiwax grade, at 35% confidence against 78%, because it discloses less.
