Material Introduction
WINIW, a leader in sports ball core materials, proudly presents its Durable Artificial Leather for Basketball Bladders—a robust, airtight material designed to maintain basketball inflation pressure and structural integrity. The bladder is the core component of a basketball, responsible for holding air and determining the ball’s bounce and shape; conventional bladder materials often leak air, lose elasticity, or degrade over time, leading to flat balls and poor gameplay performance.
This durable artificial leather addresses these issues with a high-density, airtight construction that minimizes air leakage, keeping the basketball properly inflated for weeks without requiring top-ups. Crafted with a reinforced polymer layer, it resists punctures and tears from sharp objects like court lines, shoe studs, and debris, ensuring long-lasting structural stability. Unlike rubber bladders, this artificial leather is lightweight and flexible, maintaining a consistent bounce and feel across different temperatures and playing conditions. It is compatible with all basketball manufacturing processes, including panel bonding and valve installation, and it adheres firmly to outer panels to prevent separation during intense dribbling and bouncing. Meeting NBA and FIBA standards for air retention and bounce, this durable artificial leather is the ideal choice for manufacturers producing high-quality, long-lasting basketballs.
Material Feature
90% reduction in air leakage compared to rubber bladders, keeping the basketball inflated for up to 4 weeks and ensuring consistent bounce during games and training.
Reinforced with a puncture-resistant layer, it withstands damage from sharp court edges, shoe studs, and debris, extending the basketball’s lifespan significantly.
Maintains flexibility from -10°C to 40°C, ensuring consistent bounce performance in both cold indoor gyms and hot outdoor courts.
Application Scenarios
For NBA and FIBA-approved game basketballs, this bladder material ensures consistent air pressure and bounce, meeting the strict performance standards of competitive play.
For gym and recreational center basketballs, the air retention and puncture resistance reduce maintenance needs, keeping the balls playable for longer periods.
For street basketballs used on rough concrete courts, the puncture-resistant layer withstands debris and sharp edges, preventing leaks and extending the ball’s lifespan.
