From Start To Finish WEND Has You Covered MEADOWFOAM® PLANT PRODUCTS Meadowfoam® stands as the cornerstone of all WEND wax formulas. Cultivated in both California and central Oregon by cooperative farmers, this unique flower seed possesses exceptional hydrophobic properties. WEND's distinctive wax lines utilize both MF seed oil and MF hydrogenated wax. Not only are these products non-toxic and biodegradable, but they also remain safe at high temperatures. The inherent properties of Meadowfoam® facilitate deep penetration into the base, ensuring prolonged durability and enhanced glide performance. Flower Power EQUIPMENT LONGEVITY Properly waxing your skis or board is vital for maintaining your equipment. Allowing the bases to dry out can compromise the structural integrity of your gear. Our exclusive Meadowfoam® (MF) blend oil boasts unique characteristics that ensure deep wax penetration, resulting in a highly saturated base. The natural MF blend helps rehydrate your base, shielding it from oxidation and brittleness. WEND also offers an MF Performance Base Prep/Saturation wax ideal for long-term storage. Simply hot melt the Base Prep bar into the base, let it cool, and safely store your equipment during the off-season. When you retrieve your skis/board for the new season, a quick scrape and brush reveal the remarkable preservation of base quality.
