Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
113 words
A solid composition useful for waxing the base of skis to improve their performance, comprising: (a) a wax component in an amount between about 40% and about 80% by weight of the total composition; (b) a solvent component in an amount between about 5% and about 30% by weight of the total composition; and, (c) a polymer of a siloxane selected from the group consisting of dimethyl siloxane and cyclo siloxane and having a molecular weight between about 100 and about 2,000 and a vapor pressure at 20° C. between about 1.5 and about 100 mm of Hg, said polymer comprising between about 5% and about 30% by weight of the total composition.
