The thermal bonding technology means that the panels are placed inside a mould that is heated by a machine to press and glue the panels together.
Thermal bonded ball boasts greater shape retention and durability due to an integrated structure that use special glue to attach the bladder to the lining and leather firmly. Excellent roundness to reduce resistance when flying and rolling, making the ball shoots faster, while the seamless surface allows for less water uptake, helping the ball last in any weather.
Constructed with 3.5mm PU leather combined with a foaming layer as the shell, the latest thermal bonded ball (e.g. Nike, Adidas) becomes a preferred ball for the Champions League, World Cup, and other professional soccer leagues worldwide.
However, thermo bonded balls can’t be deflated when shipment because of the production craft and material structure, so the shipping cost is higher than other balls.
