Material Introduction
WINIW, a leading innovator in sports equipment materials, proudly presents its Water-Resistant Polyurethane Faux Leather for Football Surfaces—engineered to repel water, resist moisture absorption, and maintain optimal performance in wet conditions while delivering professional-grade touch and durability for footballs. This product addresses a critical need for sports equipment manufacturers and football brands: a polyurethane faux leather that combines industrial-grade water resistance with structural flexibility, ideal for football surfaces subjected to rain, dew, and outdoor playing environments.
Crafted with WINIW’s advanced hydrophobic polyurethane technology, this faux leather features a dense, smooth surface infused with water-repellent compounds (fluorine-free hydrophobic coatings) that form a protective barrier against moisture. Unlike ordinary faux leathers that absorb water and become heavy, it undergoes a specialized curing process that locks in water resistance, ensuring the football retains its shape, weight, and bounce even after prolonged exposure to wet conditions. The material also incorporates a flexible core that mimics natural leather’s touch and feel, paired with a scratch-resistant coating that resists wear from grass, turf, and hard surfaces—a key improvement over water-prone or rigid alternatives.
Suitable for professional footballs, training balls, and youth league equipment, it caters to brands focused on performance consistency, compliance with sports equipment standards (FIFA Quality Pro, EN 15749), and long-lasting durability. It accepts custom colorways (team colors, high-visibility accents), texture variations (smooth/pebbled), and logo embossing, aligning with football brand design requirements and marketing needs. For those seeking a water-resistant material that elevates football surface performance, this polyurethane faux leather from WINIW redefines wet-weather playability and reliability.
Material Feature
This polyurethane faux leather features WINIW’s fluorine-free hydrophobic coating, absorbing less than 2% of its weight in water—exceeding FIFA standards for wet-weather performance. It prevents waterlogging, ensuring consistent weight and bounce in rain, dew, or damp conditions.
The micro-textured surface and flexible core mimic natural leather’s feel, enhancing ball control for passing, shooting, and dribbling. It delivers consistent performance across dry and wet surfaces, supporting player confidence in all weather.
The scratch-resistant coating withstands grass, turf, and hard surfaces, while UV resistance prevents fading and degradation from sunlight. The material retains structural integrity for 10,000+ kicks, outperforming standard football materials by 40% in lifespan.
Application Scenarios
For professional matches, smooth texture meets FIFA standards for touch and control. Water resistance ensures consistent performance in rain or damp stadiums, and UV resistance prevents fading from outdoor games. Custom team colors and logo embossing enhance brand identity.
In youth leagues, pebbled texture improves grip for young players learning ball control. Water resistance handles weekend games in variable weather, and durability withstands frequent training sessions. Lightweight design supports skill development without compromising performance.
For training camps, all-weather durability withstands daily use on grass, turf, or concrete. Water resistance eliminates downtime from rain, and scratch resistance retains appearance through intense drills. Customizable thickness adapts to training intensity (heavy-duty for professional camps, lightweight for youth clinics).

FAQ
Q1: Can this leather be customized to different textures for specific play styles (e.g., pebbled for enhanced grip vs. smooth for professional matches)?
A1: Yes, we offer texture customization (smooth/pebbled/micro-ribbed). Pebbled textures enhance grip for training and youth leagues, while smooth surfaces meet professional match standards—all retaining water resistance and touch performance.
Q2: Will the water-resistant properties fade or the material become stiff after long-term outdoor use or exposure to sunlight/cleaning?
A2: No, the hydrophobic coating is integrated into the polyurethane core, and the material is UV-stabilized for outdoor durability. It retains water resistance and flexibility, avoiding stiffness even after prolonged sunlight exposure and cleaning with sports equipment cleaners.
Q3: Can we request custom color matching and logo embossing for brand identity (e.g., team colors, brand logos)?
A3: Absolutely. We offer precise color customization (team hues, high-visibility tones) and logo embossing/debossing for brand recognition. The colorants are UV-stable and fade-resistant, ensuring long-lasting brand visibility without compromising performance.
Q4: Is it suitable for thermally bonded or hand-stitched footballs, and will it affect panel adhesion or durability?
A4: Yes, it is compatible with both construction methods. The material’s surface is optimized for thermal bonding (strong adhesion, no delamination) and hand-stitching (tear-resistant, maintains integrity through needle penetration). It enhances panel durability for both designs.
