LIKE-ICE SCIENCE GMBH
Building Materials
LIKE-ICE SCIENCE GMBH, founded in 2009 and based in Schierling, Germany, produces synthetic plastic ice developed specifically for ice hockey and figure skating. Skate blades glide on the surface without lubricants when the skater uses proper posture and braking. Since 2016 the material has also served curling and is described as the only surface with IFI certification worldwide. The surface requires no electricity, water or expensive machinery, and at the end of its usage period the plastic ice can be recycled into new plastic ice or other products.
