Phantom Permanent Waxless Glide
PHANTOM is a permanent, one-time application base treatment that provides increased glide across all conditions. A disruptive, truly innovative solution that ushers in a new era in snowsports.
PHANTOM’s patent-pending polymer technology offers ultimate convenience combined with great glide performance. Cured PHANTOM is an inert substance, meaning your skis or snowboard can continue to glide while not contaminating the watershed.
Permanence In Detail.
Permanence breeds ultimate convenience. With PHANTOM, you apply the formula once at any point in your ski or snowboard’s life cycle, whether new or used. It’s that simple. PHANTOM’s sophisticated, timed polymerization process permanently penetrates deep into the base material with powerful go-fast fluoro compositions designed to operate across all snow temperatures. Even when the ski or snowboard goes into a shop for stone grinding, the next fresh layer of PHANTOM is exposed – ready to glide.
“PHANTOM’s permanence and performance will change the game in ways that are hard to imagine now, but in a few years’ time, we’ll be scratching our heads wondering how we ever skied without it.”
Performance In Detail.
Unless you are constantly waxing with correct temperature specific waxes, PHANTOM is faster across all conditions over time because its performance is consistent, whereas conventional wax quickly wears away and so glide deteriorates. Base maintenance is essential to optimise the performance of your PHANTOMed skis/snowboard.
“I coach racing and ski everyday. For an entire season, my skis with PHANTOM performed perfectly in all conditions, from hard abrasive man-made snow, through wet sticky elephant snot, and all the way to cold dry powder. They glided without fault in all conditions.” – Angus Rose, Alpine Race Coach, New Zealand
Environment in Detail.
Today’s snow is tomorrow’s water. Cured PHANTOM is an inert substance, meaning your skis or snowboard can continue to glide while not contaminating the watershed. The innovation centers around the inclusion of short-chain, glide-friendly fluorocarbon functional groups, but in a superior, new delivery method that renders them inert and harmless to humans, plants and animals, once cured into a ski or snowboard base. Cured PHANTOM doesn’t cause biological damage, and doesn’t present any long-term environmental risks.
“Phantom's environmentally friendly formula has the potential to upend the wax industry.”
Cure Station
PHANTOM can be applied professionally by an Authorized PHANTOM Installer using a Cure Station. The process takes approximately 15 minutes for part A, and 15 minutes for part B, with minor additional preparation and soak time. Cure Station application, available at select DPS dealers, is the most precise and fastest method to apply PHANTOM to skis or snowboards, and is a reliable all-season solution during the low light winter months, especially in more extreme latitudes, and in wetter climates where sunshine isn’t as consistent.
