Benefits of Silicone Leather for Balls
Excellent durability and wear resistance: Silicone leather has extremely high wear resistance. After Martindale testing, the wear resistance is up to 50,000 times, which is excellent. This feature allows silicone leather to maintain a long service life in frequently used ball sports and reduce the frequency of replacement.
Excellent anti-slip performance: The surface of silicone leather has been specially treated to have good anti-slip performance. In slippery or greasy environments, it can still provide stable grip, ensuring that athletes can complete movements accurately and safely
Foul-proof and waterproof: This material has anti-fouling and waterproof properties, ordinary stains can be removed with a light wipe, keep clean
Silicone leather can imitate a variety of leather textures, including genuine leather and other imitation leather textures, so the silicone leather can adapt to different styles ball manufacturing.
