Description & Features
Swix WC Powder is a World Cup-level top-finish powder that boosts glide when snow moisture and grain size get tricky. This Swix WC Powder lineup includes PC powders for transformed/coarse snow and PF powders for new/fine snow. Each Swix WC Powder option uses a precisely engineered surface technology to reduce friction and help you keep speed. Use the comparison chart below to match humidity, snow type, and temperature to the right powder.
Features
- PC Series (Nano Contact): Built for coarse, transformed snow. Creates a smooth nano-layer to minimize friction.
- PF Series (CrystalShield): Built for fine, new snow. Forms a durable, low-friction coating for strong glide.
- World Cup top-finish powder trusted by professional wax technicians.
- Simple hot-iron application for consistent, repeatable results.
Comparison Chart
| Swix WC Powder | Best Snow Type | Snow Humidity | Temp Range (°C) | Technology | Iron Temp (min.) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| PC100 | Wet, coarse, transformed snow | 30–100% | -2 to 10 | Nano Contact | 160°C |
| PC35 | Medium-dry, transformed snow | 20–35% | -10 to -2 | Nano Contact | 160°C |
| PC25 | Dry, coarse, transformed snow | 0–25% | -20 to -4 | Nano Contact | 160°C |
| PF100 | Wet, fine, new snow | 30–100% | -4 to 4 | CrystalShield | 130°C |
| PF35 | Fine, new snow | 20–35% | -8 to 0 | CrystalShield | 160°C |
| PF25 | Very fine, new snow (dry) | 0–25% | -20 to -6 | CrystalShield | 160°C |
How to Choose
- If the snow is coarse or transformed, start with PC (PC25, PC35, PC100).
- If the snow is new or very fine-grained, start with PF (PF25, PF35, PF100).
- Match snow humidity first, then confirm the temperature range.
Application Basics
- Sprinkle powder evenly along the base.
- Melt in with a waxing iron at the listed minimum temperature.
- Use slow, controlled passes for an even finish (about 8–10 seconds per ski).

Technology
Nano Contact
Nano Contact technology creates a super-smooth nano-layer that reduces friction on coarse, transformed snow. It’s built for racers who need reliable speed when snow structure is aggressive.
CrystalShield
CrystalShield technology forms a slick, durable coating that reduces snow contact on fine, new snow. It’s trusted by professionals for strong glide and lasting performance in changing moisture.
