The four main components of a Football ball are the cover, the stitching, the lining and the bladder. Understanding these components and their options will help you in choosing the perfect ball to meet your playing and quality needs. The surface of Football balls or coverings are made up from synthetic leather and not full grain leather as used in the past because leather has a tendency to absorb water causing the ball to become very heavy. Synthetic leather is typically made from PU and PVC.
There are many variations of synthetic leather used in the construction of Football balls. They range from AI-2000, Japanese Teijin Cordley, Microfiber, English Porvair, Korean Ducksung, Leather Art Pakistan Synthetic Leather, and PVC. Best Football balls used in competition and by professionals are produced by using AI-2000, Cordley, Ducksung and Micro fiber or other types of PU synthetic leather. Promotional Football balls or practice balls are usually constructed with Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) or rubber molded or stitched covers. Material thickness plays a vital part in the quality of hand-sewn Football balls. Multiple layers of lining are placed between the cover and the bladder. These layers are composed of polyester and/or cotton bonded together to give the ball strength, structure and bounce. Professional Football balls usually have four or more layers of lining. Promotional or practice balls are often constructed with less layers of lining. The lining helps the ball retain its shape and bounce over the life of the ball.
Many Football balls include a foam layer for added cushioning and ball control. The bladder in a Football ball holds the air. Bladders are usually made from latex or butyl. Compared to latex bladders, butyl bladders retain air for longer periods of time. Latex bladders tend to provide better surface tension. However; butyl bladders offer the excellent combination of contact quality and air retention. Futsal ball bladders are filled with foam to limit the bouncing capability of the ball since they are used on hard flooring.
Most balls use butyl valves for air retention, with higher end balls using a silicone-treated valve for superior performance. Silicone treated valves are used on some balls for smooth insertion of the inflating needle and added protection from air loss. When you first receive a ball, a good idea is to put a few drops of silicon oil in the valve. This will provide easier needle insertion and better air retention.
