This invention relates to a method of resurfacing an ice surface to reduce wear on the ice surface and to reduce friction between the ice and an object gliding on the ice surface. The steps comprise mixing an effective amount of lubricant with water, coating the ice surface with the mixture, and allowing the mixture to freeze to form a new ice surface. In particular, the lubricant is derived from silicone. In the preferred embodiment, the lubricant is a composition derived from Fluftone S-90 by Thomson Research Associates, of Granby, Quebec, Canada. In the preferred embodiment, the ratio of water mixed with the lubricant is 30:1. This invention also provides for the use of the composition as an agent to reduce friction between an ice surface and an object gliding on the ice surface. In particular, an effective amount of the composition is mixed with water prior to applying the mixture to a surface upon which the ice surface is to form.

La présente invention fait état d'une méthode permettant de refaire la surface de glace d'une patinoire et de réduire l'usure de la glace et la friction entre la glace et un objet glissant sur cette dernière. La méthode comprend les étapes suivantes : mélanger une quantité suffisante de lubrifiant avec de l'eau; étendre le mélange sur la surface de la glace; et permettre au mélange de geler afin de former une nouvelle surface sur la glace. Le lubrifiant utilisé est plus particulièrement dérivé de silicone, celui de la version privilégiée consiste en une composition dérivée du Fluftone S-90 produit par Thomson Research Associates, de Granby, Québec, au Canada. Le rapport eau/lubrifiant de la version privilégiée est de 30/1. La composition de la présente invention peut aussi servir à réduire la friction entre la surface de la glace et un objet glissant sur cette dernière. Il suffit de mélanger une quantité suffisante de la composition avec de l'eau avant d'appliquer le mélange sur la surface sur laquelle la glace sera formée.
