Another Innovation from

 

Success in skiing is based on various factors – one very important factor is wax. With Toko HelX, we have once again confirmed our place as a leader in technology changing the standard of Flourocarbon performance and application.  

Toko HelX Warm 
100% Fluorocarbon Liquid Racing Wax
Optimal in warm, wet snow (Snowball Snow).
Optimal in snow temperatures from 0 ºC (32 ºF) to -5ºC (22 ºF), however high moisture is the key factor in deciding to use Helx Warm.

Toko HelX Cold
100 % Flourocarbon Liquid Racing Wax

Optimal in conditions colder and dryer than Helx Warm, but not really COLD conditions.  Use Jetstream Old Snow in cold, dry snow conditions.  If in doubt on which Helx to use, use Helx Cold.

Optimal in Temperatures from -2ºC (28ºF) to -8ºC (17ºF)

 

 

The advantages of Toko HelX:
- Extreme acceleration ratios
- Increased terminal velocity
- Long-lasting optimal performance
- Economical due to the super-thin nano coating
- The base will not harden
- Simple and quick spray application
- Environmentally friendly due to clean pressurized gas
- Sprayable in every position

- Will not slow down skis if used in inappropriate conditions
- Works to the last drop

- Will provide 12-15 applications for Nordic skis, 7-10 applications for Alpine skis, and 5-6 Snowboards

The successes of Toko HelX:
With the 100 % fluorine liquid racing wax, Toko has succeeded in achieving a true leap forward in the liquid wax area. Toko HelX created a sensation with numerous "medal wins" and victories at the 2002 Salt Lake City Olympic games and literally all major World Cup events since.  Additionally, Toko Helx has experienced sensational results and has a huge following in Citizen level racing due to both it's extraordinary performance and ease of application.

This is Toko HelX:
Toko HelX is a liquid wax made from fluorine telomeres. Fluorine atoms are arranged on short chain spiral molecules, the so-called helix structure. This leads to a unique density of fluorine molecules on the surface of the base, which shows itself in the hitherto-unattainable, excellent gliding properties. In Toko HelX the active substance, flouro-carbon, is so highly concentrated that maximum effects can even be achieved with an extremely thin coating. Furthermore, the unique processing of the active substance into a nano-emulsion leads to an even better coating of the microstructures of the ski base with dirt and water repellent fluorine.  Toko HelX is not an aerosol propelled product.  Rather, a bladder inside the canister is filled with the product while pressurized gas surrounds this bladder.  When the product is sprayed, the gas squeezes the bladder spraying Helx out uniformly until the very last drop.  This ensures that you get pure product on your skis, rather than product mixed with propellant.

How Toko HelX works:
Thanks to the revolutionary technology, the vital microstructure of the base is optimally coated and yet the macrostructure of the ski is not harmed. It is in this way, that the friction coefficient is significantly reduced, which in turn greatly improves gliding properties.

Using Toko HelX:
Step 1
Prepare base for waxing

Step 2
Iron-in Toko Dibloc (HF, LF) using the Toko wax iron, remove and brush-out using the Toko polishing brush.

Step 3
Pre polish the base with the yellow side of the Toko dual pads.

Step 4
Evenly spray on Toko HelX and allow to dry for at least 15 minutes at room temperature - this is a critical step - the wax must dry completely.  It can sit overnight for really good adhesion.  (If Helx application must be done below room temperature, rotocorking the product until dry is necessary.  Only after rotobrushing, lightly brush ski with a dedicated flourocarbon polishing brush.)

Step 5
Polish the base thoroughly using the white side

Tip!
In dirty snow conditions apply a layer of rubbed on Jetstream Old Snow between sets 2 and 3.  This will enhance the dirt repelling properties of Helx and the wax job in general.

Dual Pad
The Toko Dual Pad comes with every package of Helx (warm and cold) and is also available seperately.  It is a necessary tool when applying Toko Helx or Nano HF2

The yellow side
Prepares/cleans the base and removes harmful remnants of wax and small particles of dust.

The white side
To be used on the base following the application of Toko HelX. Good polishing produces the warmth necessary to get optimal distribution of the fluorine molecules (gliding factors).
