Polin is a technology leader in waterslide manufacturing. “Magic Shine Slide Technology” is Polin’s one of the latest improvements that reflected in maximum customer satisfaction. Polin names its slides produced by L-RTM (Light- Resin Transfer Molding) technology as “Magic Shine”. Polin is the first European waterslide manufacturer that uses RTM – Resin Transfer Moulding- technology in waterslide production and Polin is the single waterslide manufacturer in the World that produces World’s largest waterslide components using RTM technology. Since Polin started to produce waterslides with RTM technology, this became a primary choice for the park owners, operators since waterslides produced by this technology have a lot of advantages.

Resin transfer molding (RTM) is a low pressure closed molding process for moderate volume production quantities, filling the gap between the slow, contact molding processes and the faster, compression molding process, which requires higher tooling costs. Advantages over contact molding methods are a uniform thickness, two finished sides and low emissions. For optimum surface finish, a gel coat would be applied to the mold surface prior to molding. High quality parts are being produced by this method.

Polin has been a pioneer in the advancement and application of the Light RTM process in waterslide manufacturing. Since 2006, Polin has converted to Light RTM on over 90% of its annual fiberglass production. Polin offers its unique Natural Light Effect (NLE) technology in RTM and Polin offers translucent waterslides again in RTM. Polin is the only waterslide manufacturer that offers bowl rides and family rides as RTM manufactured.

LRTM waterslide production requires huge investment and technical expertise and know-how in composite manufacturing. With over 34 years of experience across the globe in the composites sector, we gained unmatched business and technological expertise.

Closed molded fabrication through RTM offers a number of advantages:

- We and eventually our clients obtain products with shining/smooth internal and external surfaces. Therefore the slides are aesthetically far superior than the ones obtained from open moulded processes.
- The raw material used in RTM products, that are multiaxial fibres (multiaxial mat), are far more strong than those (chopped strand mat and roving)used in Hand Lay Up and Spray Up methods.
- The waterslides by RTM manufacturing is stronger and lighter.
- Compared to the open moulded processes, we are able to obtain far more homogeneous thickness distribution.
- RTM production offers important environmental advantages. It offers a cleaner environment since the styrene emission is much lower than the other 2 methods. Plus, physical waste is much less than the conventional methods. These facts are very important for a company like Polin feeling environmental responsibility.
- We obtain a visually superior product.
- The brightness and smoothness of the external surface facilitate its usage. Since the surface is smooth, it doesn’t get dirty quickly and is easier to wipe. Now it is much easier to keep the slides clean.
-To sum up, we obtain superior waterslides both aesthetically and physically in less time and with less waste.
