Purl Graphite Black Ski and Snowboard Wax

There are two kinds of snow that absolutely murder glide: bitterly cold, bone-dry snow and filthy late-season slush. Purl Black Graphite Wax is built to handle both. Graphite helps cut through the static friction generated in severe cold while also resisting the dirt, oils and other contaminants that make Australian spring snow feel painfully slow. It is a specialised weapon, but one that solves some of the most stubborn tuning problems you will encounter through a season.

Crayon a thin, even layer across the base, then iron it in alongside the Purl wax best suited to the day’s conditions. Pair it with a cold formula when the temperature drops or run it with Purple All-Temp through the Australian season to add serious protection against dirty, draggy snow. Hand-poured in the USA using Purl’s proven Original hydrocarbon formula, Black Graphite delivers genuine workshop-level performance without fluoros, PFCs or toxic chemical additives.
