Where these two actually differ

  • We flag PFAS and legacy fluorocarbons in wax blend, Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from heating and application, Synthetic additive toxicity (undisclosed) and Coating degradation and microplastic release on the and not on the Swix.
  • The Swix is Hydrocarbon-based ski wax (paraffin/synthetic blend) where the is Wax blend (formulation undisclosed), 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 Swix is the one to buy.
  • We are less certain about the grade, at 25% confidence against 72%, because it discloses less.
