Fluoro Wax Rule for Nordiq Canada Sanctioned Races 2024-25

Nordiq Canada continues to follow the global ski community and FIS in the strategy to eliminate fluoro wax. 

 

Fluoro wax is restricted for Canadian FIS Tier 1 events and all other Nordiq Canada sanctioned events. This includes: 

  • Canada Cups 
  • Nordiq Cups (COC) / Nordiq Canada Selection Trials 
  • Nordiq Canada Ski Nationals
  • Tier 2 events (Provincial) 
  • Tier 3 events

 

 Wax Protocol

Wax protocols will not be in effect at Canadian Tier 1 FIS Events 

 

Not Permitted

  • Fluoro kick wax 
  • High fluoro (HF), medium fluoro (MF), or low fluoro (LF) glide wax,
    • including HF, MF, or LF powders, pucks, blocks and liquids 
  • Fluoro cold weather powder additives and hardeners 
  • Fluoro grip powders 

 

Fluoro Testing 

Nordiq Canada’s testing philosophy is to employ a community minded trust approach.  

 

Background 

The health of our members along with environmental concerns around using fluoro wax is always one of Nordiq Canada’s top priorities. The international ski community including the International Ski Federation (FIS), national federations, and wax companies, are working together to find alternative waxing solutions. 

 

Removing Fluoro Wax 

To ensure skis and equipment are properly cleaned of fluorinated products or residue, please follow the FIS recommendations. 

  

Identifying Fluoro-free Products 

All members are responsible for ensuring they use fluoro-free products. If you are unsure if a product contains fluoros, we recommend you not use it. Most wax distributors have fluoro-free categories on their websites.
