Modern ski or board bases must satisfy the following demands: They should be elastic and at the same timewithstand the highest possible loads. For this reason, sintered bases are predominantly employed in racing sports today. Sintered bases can be produced with a wide range of different additives, each base form offers special qualities for particular conditions.

Transparent sintered bases
This type is charakterised by greater toughness, but nevertheless without any reduced wax absorption ability.
Graphite bases
Graphite protects the base against impurities thanks to its anti-static properties. With teir good thermal conductivity, graphite bases provide good glide particulary in wet snow.

Multi-sinter bases
(different molekular weights of the individual components)
have
outstanding all-round properties and are eqally suitable for cross-country and downhill skis as well as for snowboards since they exhibit good glide properties in all temperature ranges.
