michael.a Posted July 30, 2019 Report Share Posted July 30, 2019 Testing of well, stream, and river water around ski resorts revealed some pretty shocking concentrations of perfluorochemicals. Let alone local dumps where thousands of pounds of wax shavings end up. I've seen the amount of wax a junior race team uses and it's incredible. Who knows if the polymer resins that have recently sprung up as an alternative to waxing might be the real future. Hmmm.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
west carven Posted July 31, 2019 Report Share Posted July 31, 2019 howdy just saw some of this on the local news about PFAS in our drinking water... not so much here, but around the country... found a little more on a pbs site and seems like we been living in it and eating it for years... that stuff never bio-degrades...

LiquidEarth808 Posted August 2, 2019 Report Share Posted August 2, 2019 I have been using non-flouro Bio-Swix for a long time. As fast as any wax I have ever used. I am not a racer, but consistently blow by skiers on all the flats. Of course knowing when to let it run helps... Seem to always get comments on glide. Then again, I avoid non-snow surfaces as well.

Awesomo12000 Posted August 20, 2019 Report Share Posted August 20, 2019 My buddy works for the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency, I gotta have him give a reply here. He knows all about PFAS. From what I've heard, it's some nasty stuff. Here in MN, where a large 3M factory exists(ed?), a significant portion of a whole county showed positive for PFAS in their bloodstream. 3M said it's such low amounts and nothing to worry about, but what else would they say as of now.
