THE SCIENCE
JUICE Permanent is a molecular treatment that uses nano-sized particles to alter and enhance the hydrophobic (water-repellent) properties of materials used to make skis and snowboards. At the same time, the base material becomes more resistant to damage such as small scratches and the dreaded "P-Tex hairs" that appear as base materials degrade (not just p-tex but all other manufacturers of UHMWPE base materials, either extruded or sintered). This allows the already-enhanced performance to be maintained.
It's as simple as 1-2-3
-
JUICE Permanent penetrates all the way through the base material
-
It chemically bonds to the base material
-
Then it cures and sets, so becoming permanent
​
Once cured (dried), it is impossible to remove and is therefore a
permanent solution to making your skis or board run perfectly.
It never needs ANY further maintenance OR any additional treatments.
It will always work.
Simple.
The first image below shows how JUICE Permanent has penetrated all the way through the base material by highlighting the particles with a laser tuned specifically for this purpose.
The three following images demonstrate the scientific proof of
JUICE Permanent. They show a series of magnified Images taken using electron microscopy at the esteemed Bath University in the UK.
JUICE Permanent – under the microscope
Images were taken from a section of a treated ski that was frozen in liquid nitrogen then broken so that the depth of the base material examined was not contaminated in any way.
​
The images show that JUICE Permanent soaks into the base material but does NOT block the ‘pores’. This means that if you actually choose to put wax on a ski or snowboard that has been treated with JUICE Permanent, it will work just like it does with an untreated base. The big difference is that when it wears off, instead of your skis getting progressively slowr, JUICE remains and continues to make the skis or snowboard run perfectly.

Just 40x magnification shows the structure of the base material
At 20,000x magnification, JUICE particles are seen as nano-sized cobweb-like structures that have modified the base
