Polin Waterparks has launched the world's first ever transparent composite slide.
One of three new products launched at IAAPA, the slide, called Glassy, was developed in the company's R&D centre and is produced using Light Resin Transfer Molding (LRTM), a cost-effective manufacturing process that creates long-lasting and uniformly smooth/even products without creating environmental emissions. Unlike traditional acrylic waterslides, Glassy is completely transparent and the finish does not degrade over time.
Polin has been championing this technique in the manufacture of waterslides since 2006, when it converted 100 per cent of its fibreglass production to LRTM.
The slide builds on a number of a Polin's innovations including: special lighting effects and integrated sound effects, as well as transparent and patterned composites unique to the company.
Ali Cansun, director of R&D said: As a pioneer of the amusement industry, we are proud to announce Glassy Waterslide, which will make a dynamic difference in the industry."
