What is Absolute Filth Hockey Wax?
Absolute Filth Hockey Wax was born from the passion of Minnesota hockey mom Katie Kirt and her husband Casey. Spending countless hours in the stands watching her kids play, Katie was inspired to create a unique stick wax with special scents and superior stickiness. It is formulated with a special blend of 5 high-end waxes by wax scientists with over 25 years of experience, who have developed your new secret weapon. The wax is designed to provide the ultimate grip and performance, whether you're playing outdoors or on a freshly zambonied indoor rink.
Absolute Filth is made using a blend of 5 types of waxes. Each selected for a single purpose. To make you a scoring machine. Imagine having enhanced control, allowing you to effortlessly dance with the puck down the ice. Yet it is soft enough to melt deep into your tape even in the coldest of locker rooms.

The Science Behind Wax Wrap Pre-Waxed Hockey Tape
Absolute Filth had developed a new line of pre-waxed hockey tape, including 18 months of research in finding the right wax, and an additional two years for perfecting the wax application, building the wax coater, and matching the wax and adhesive.
For its hockey tape, Wax Wrap developed an adhesive system that increased the adhesion of its tape while resisting flagging. With this in hand and with the help of customer feedback, they developed a coater to apply wax to cloth stick tape. After intensive product development and testing, Wax Wrap has been approved and is now ready to put it into the hands of all hockey players.

Why Use Wax on Hockey Tape?
As a hockey player, you know that snow will inevitably appear on the ice, on the puck, and on your stick blade. Wax hockey tape reduces snow and ice build-up on the stick blade; and less snow means better puck control, more accurate shots, and more goals. The wax coating on Wax Wrap pre-waxed hockey tape is consistent and accurate, unlike hand waxing, which can be lumpy and uneven. Their wax is softer and tackier than the candle or other wax you may use, giving you increased puck control.
