Synthetic ice, also known as artificial ice, typically refers to interlocking panels or rolls made from high-tech polymer materials (such as ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene, copolymers, etc.) that simulate the gliding experience of real ice.
Materials and Surface Characteristics:
Low Friction Coefficient Surface: The panels are specially treated, resulting in an extremely smooth and self-lubricating surface. Combined with a special lubricant (a colorless and odorless silicone-based spray), the sliding friction can be reduced to near-real-ice levels.
Modular Design: Mostly interlocking or flat-jointed panels, allowing for quick and flexible installation and removal. It requires minimal preparation of the base surface (such as concrete, wood flooring, or tiles), only requiring a flat and hard surface.
Skating Experience:
Near-Real-Ice Skating Feel: After applying the special lubricant, standard ice skates can be used for gliding, turning, stopping, and even some jumping maneuvers. However, there are subtle differences in friction and gliding speed compared to high-quality real ice, usually feeling slightly "stickier."
No Refrigeration System Required: This is the fundamental difference from real ice rinks. Skating does not rely on low-temperature freezing, but rather on the physical properties of the material at room temperature.
Environment and Maintenance:
Extremely Adaptable to the Environment: Completely unaffected by environmental temperature and humidity, it can operate year-round indoors and outdoors, in tropical regions, or even in shopping mall atriums. It has extremely low energy consumption and requires no refrigeration equipment.
Simple Maintenance: Routine maintenance mainly involves sweeping away dust, reapplying lubricant, and checking and tightening panel connections. It eliminates the need for complex Zamboni ice resurfacers, chillers, and dehumidification systems.
Physical Properties:
High Durability and Impact Resistance: The material is typically very tough, resisting ice skate cuts, heavy object drops, and frequent foot traffic, resulting in a long service life.
No Melting Risk: There is no risk of melting ice, allowing the rink to be used 24 hours a day or quickly converted to other uses.
Significant Operational and Cost Advantages:
Low Initial Investment: Eliminates the need for expensive refrigeration piping systems, insulation layers, and large refrigeration units, significantly reducing construction costs and time.
Extremely Low Operating Costs: Energy savings of over 90% (only for lighting and possible fans), eliminating huge electricity bills. It also saves on the costs of ice technicians, complex water treatment systems, and chemicals. Zero water consumption: It requires absolutely no water, offering a huge advantage in water-scarce regions.
