Product Description

Jiasheng Plastics is a specialized manufacturer of high-performance UHMWPE Dasher Boards, the critical component for modern ice hockey and skating rink containment systems. Unlike traditional wood or standard plastic boards that crack and splinter under the heavy impact of hockey pucks and player collisions, our dasher boards are fabricated from Ultra-High Molecular Weight Polyethylene. This material is widely recognized as the toughest plastic on the market, offering unparalleled impact strength even in extreme sub-zero temperatures. Our boards provide a consistent, predictable rebound and a smooth, safe surface that minimizes the risk of player injury while maximizing the longevity of the rink facility.

Our modular rink wall system is designed with ease of installation and maintenance in mind. We utilize a precise tongue-and-groove jointing system that ensures a seamless, flush connection between panels, preventing pucks from catching or players from snagging during intense gameplay. The panels are typically mounted to a robust galvanized steel or aluminum frame, providing the structural rigidity required for professional arena environments. At our Dezhou facility, we use multi-axis CNC routers to ensure that every panel is cut to exacting tolerances, allowing for a perfect fit even in complex rink geometries including radii and gate sections.

In addition to their mechanical strength, Jiasheng dasher boards are engineered for aesthetic longevity. We integrate UV-stabilizers and specialized color pigments throughout the material, ensuring that the bright white of the main panels and the high-visibility colors of the kick plates and top caps do not fade or yellow over time. The surface of our UHMWPE is naturally stain-resistant and easy to clean, allowing rink managers to quickly remove puck marks and scuffs with standard cleaning agents. Whether you are building an NHL-size arena, a community skating rink, or a private synthetic ice training facility, Jiasheng Plastics delivers the professional-grade wall system your project requires.

Sizes & Customization

At Jiasheng Plastics, we specialize in fully customized dasher board solutions. While we follow NHL standard heights (1066mm), we can manufacture panels to any height required for your specific facility, from low-profile boards for youth rinks to full-height protective walls for specialized training. Our standard panel lengths are 1220mm and 2440mm, which can be custom-cut to accommodate gate locations, corner radii, and equipment access points.

Our branding and aesthetic options are extensive. We offer kick plates in various colors (standard yellow) and top caps (standard blue or red) to match your team or facility colors. We also provide integrated advertisement spaces with clear protective covers, allowing you to generate revenue through rink-side sponsorships. Our in-house engineering team can provide complete 3D CAD models of your rink layout, ensuring a perfect fit and a streamlined installation process on-site.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the advantages of UHMWPE for dasher boards compared to HDPE?
UHMWPE (Ultra-High Molecular Weight Polyethylene) provides significantly higher impact resistance and a lower coefficient of friction than HDPE. This means it can absorb the heavy hits of players and pucks without cracking, and the pucks will glide more realistically when hitting the wall. UHMWPE also has superior abrasion resistance, leading to a much longer service life in professional arena environments.
Are your dasher boards compliant with NHL or IIHF standards?
Yes, we manufacture dasher board panels according to professional standards. Our standard panel height is 1066mm (42 inches), consistent with NHL and IIHF regulations. We can also customize the thickness (typically 12mm to 20mm) and reinforcement to meet the specific safety requirements of your facility.
Can these boards be used for outdoor rinks?
Absolutely. Our UHMWPE dasher board panels are UV-stabilized and engineered to withstand extreme temperature fluctuations from -40°C to +80°C. They will not warp, rot, or degrade when exposed to sun, rain, or snow, making them ideal for both indoor arenas and outdoor community rinks.
How are the panels connected and installed?
We utilize a modular tongue-and-groove connection system combined with pre-drilled holes for mounting to steel or aluminum framing. This allows for rapid installation and easy replacement of individual panels if necessary. We can also provide the complete structural support system upon request for a turnkey solution.
What customization options do you offer for branding?
We offer colored kick plates (typically yellow) and top caps (typically blue or red). We can also provide custom-printed dasher board graphics and advertisement wraps using high-durability vinyl or direct UV printing that resists puck marks and abrasion, helping you monetize your rink surface.
What is the typical lead time for a complete rink system?
Standard panels are often in stock and can ship within 7 days. For a complete custom rink system including frames and gates, the production lead time is typically 25-35 days from our Dezhou factory. Shipping time varies by destination but usually takes 20-40 days via sea freight.
