Swix VR 45 Light Violet Hardwax is a fluorinated and flexible wax for temperatures around freezing and colder. The VR Series Hardwaxes are characterized by a high degree of flexibility. Each VR-wax has two specified temperature ranges, one for falling and new fallen snow, characterized by sharp snow crystals with relatively strong penetration capacity, and one range for older snow, when the crystals are rounded off and have less penetration power.
