ARE ALL FLUORINATED WAXES CREATED EQUAL?
Although a variety of low-cost fluorinated additives, the products wax manufacturers blend with (hydrocarbon waxes) to create (fluorinated waxes), is available, only those developed specifically for waxes are suitable. Some commercial fluoro waxes contain a low-cost ultra-fine fluoro powder — PTFE, commonly known as Teflon — whose effectiveness as a wax additive is highly questionable. Some other brands contain 0.5% fluoro and, while their manufacturers call them fluorinated waxes, there is negligible performance advantage compared with hydrocarbon waxes.
