What is the operational temperature range?
Ice Magic® is not adversely effected by extremes of weather (heat or cold), therefore making it perfect for indoor or outdoor use world-wide. Operational temperature range of our equipment is in excess of -40C to +40C. Ice Magic will not crack, warp, splinter or corrode. It is strong and durable, plus chemical and water resistant. Can you use normal ice skates? Yes. Ice Magic® panels allow you to use either figure or ice hockey skates although it is important to ensure that your skate blades are kept sharp in order to enjoy the optimum skating experience. Speed on our ice panels can be enhanced by the use of Glycol (diluted one part water to three parts glycol) and sprayed onto the surface using a fine spray applicator and at irregular intervals. How does Ice Magic® compare to real/wet ice? First and foremost there is obviously greater frictional resistance on a plastic surface. This brings with it both positive and negative aspects depending on the ability of skaters using the surface
