With GE’s Silicone Fluid, Water-Repellent HOLMENKOL Ski Waxes Help Olympic Racers Increase Speed by Up to One Percent

HOLMENKOL Ski Waxes Containing GE’s Silicone Fluids Used by Racing Teams at the 2006 Olympic Winter Games

As a supplier to all of the national race teams that will compete in the 2006 Olympic Winter Games in Torino, Italy, HOLMENKOL sought a new approach that could help these athletes perform at their highest levels. GE’s wide array of silicones enabled the combined HOLMENKOL/GE teams to identify a material candidate with the precise characteristics required. The GE silicones material not only increased water repellency and durability, but also proved to be compatible with fluorinated additives and the wax matrix itself. Most notably, the use of HOLMENKOL ski waxes containing GE’s silicone fluids may help racers to increase speed by 0.6 percent to 1.0 percent. In practical terms, for a typical two-minute downhill race, this means cutting about a second off the total time – which could be the difference between finishing fourth, winning, and even establishing a new world record.BERGEN OP ZOOM, THE NETHERLANDS — September 27, 2005 — In the rarified world of performance ski racing – particularly the Olympic Winter Games – speeds are measured in fractions of a second, and the ski wax formulas that can help shave off those milliseconds are a closely guarded secret. For a winning ski wax, the key to acceleration is the level of water repellency. In other words, the wax must excel at preventing adhesion of snow, ice, and moisture that can slow down the ski’s movement.
