Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of sporting goods technology, and in particular to a butyl-lined PU-coated soccer ball with high sealing performance and its manufacturing process. Background Technology

[0002] With the popularization of sports and the improvement of competitive levels, football, as one of the world's most popular sports, has seen increasingly higher requirements for product quality and performance. Currently, domestic and international football manufacturers have undertaken various technological optimizations to address issues such as air leakage, deformation, and poor feel in traditional footballs. For example, in terms of materials, some manufacturers are using polyurethane (PU) leather instead of traditional polyvinyl chloride (PVC) leather for the football's outer skin, utilizing PU leather's better wear resistance and softness to improve the football's lifespan and feel. Regarding the inner bladder material, some studies are attempting to use halogenated butyl rubber or modified natural rubber to replace traditional rubber, improving air tightness and air retention. In terms of structural design, existing technologies enhance the ball's roundness and stability by increasing the number of inner bladder layers or employing multi-layered composite structures. In terms of manufacturing processes, hot-pressing and high-frequency welding are widely used in football production to improve the bonding strength between different material layers.

[0003] However, while existing technologies have improved the performance of footballs to some extent, there are still many technical shortcomings that need to be addressed. First, the problem of insufficient airtightness remains prominent. Traditional rubber bladders or ordinary butyl rubber bladders have high gas permeability, requiring the soccer ball to be re-inflated after 1-2 weeks of normal use, severely impacting the user experience. Second, the ball feels too hard and lacks resilience. The existing buffer layer material between the PU leather and the bladder has a high elastic modulus, resulting in a stiff feel and making the ball prone to permanent deformation under strong impacts. Third, the bladder reinforcement layer has low tensile strength. Traditional bonding fabrics cannot effectively maintain the spherical structure of the bladder, leading to elliptical deformation after long-term use. Furthermore, the bonding strength between the various layers is insufficient, causing the outer shell and bladder to easily delaminate, shortening the soccer ball's lifespan. Additionally, the seams are poorly sealed, with traditional stitching or simple bonding processes allowing gas to easily leak from the seams. Uneven weight distribution is also a problem; current processes struggle to ensure consistent material thickness across all parts of the soccer ball, affecting its flight stability. Finally, the manufacturing process is cumbersome and environmentally unfriendly. Traditional processes use large amounts of organic solvents, polluting the environment and leaving harmful residues.

[0004] To address the aforementioned deficiencies in existing technologies, this invention provides a butyl-lined PU-coated soccer ball with high sealing performance and its manufacturing process, aiming to solve the technical problems in existing technologies such as poor airtightness, stiff feel, insufficient toughness, easy deformation, low bonding strength, easy air leakage at seams, uneven weight distribution, and environmentally unfriendly manufacturing process. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a butyl-lined PU-coated soccer ball with high sealing performance and its preparation process, which solves the problems of poor air tightness, stiff feel, insufficient toughness, easy deformation, low bonding strength, easy air leakage at the seams, uneven weight distribution, and environmentally unfriendly preparation process of the prior art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, in a first aspect, the present invention provides a manufacturing process for a butyl-lined PU-coated soccer ball with high sealing performance, comprising the following steps: Polyurethane leather was prepared by mixing polyurethane resin and nylon-66 salt. Modified EVA film was prepared by adding ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer and ZPOE plastic into a mixer; The modified EVA film is attached to the surface of PU leather using a hot-pressing process to obtain the outer shell; Isobutylene and isoprene raw materials are added to a rubber kneader to obtain a butyl inner liner; The fabric is immersed in a reinforcing coating to produce a laminated fabric; The inner liner is made by attaching the bonding fabric to the surface of the butyl inner liner through a hot-pressing composite process. A high-viscosity hot melt adhesive layer is coated on the surface of the inner bladder, and the outer shell is attached to the surface of the inner bladder to obtain the finished football.

[0007] The step of "mixing polyurethane resin and nylon-66 salt to prepare PU leather" includes the following steps: The polyurethane resin was dried in a vacuum drying oven, and the nylon-66 salt was ground to a particle size ≤100μm. The dried polyurethane resin and the ground nylon-66 salt were added to a mixing tank at a mass ratio of (7-9):1. The solvent N,N-dimethylformamide was added and the mixture was stirred for 2-3 hours to obtain the coating slurry. After uniformly coating the release agent on the release paper surface and drying and curing, the coating slurry is coated onto the release paper using a doctor blade coating machine. After each layer is coated, it is dried in an oven. The coating is repeated 3-5 times to form a multi-layer film. The knitted base fabric is preheated and bonded to a multi-layer film using pressure rollers. The bonded composite material is then dried in an oven, and the PU leather is allowed to cool naturally to room temperature.

[0008] The step of "preparing modified EVA film by adding ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer and ZPOE plastic into a mixer" includes the following steps: The ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer and ZPOE plastic were initially dispersed evenly in a high-speed mixer; Add the premixed material to the internal mixer and mix until the material is completely plasticized and has a uniform color; The molten material after internal mixing is filtered through a filter screen and then fed into a single-screw extruder to obtain modified EVA masterbatch; Modified EVA masterbatch is added to a calender, calendered, and then cooled to obtain modified EVA film.

[0009] The step of "attaching a modified EVA film to the surface of PU leather via a hot-pressing process to obtain a shell" includes the following steps: Surface pretreatment was performed on the PU leather surface and the modified EVA film; Polyurethane hot melt adhesive is uniformly coated onto the surface of PU leather, and the coated PU leather and modified EVA film are preheated separately. The modified EVA film is covered on the surface of the coated PU leather, and then cooled by a cooling roller after being bonded by a hot press roller. Cut the cooled outer shell material to the size of a soccer ball, mark the front and back sides, and then roll it up for later use.

[0010] The step of "adding isobutylene and isoprene raw materials to a rubber kneader to obtain a butyl inner liner" includes the following steps: An initiator was added to isobutylene and isoprene, and after pre-cooling, the mixture was added to a reaction vessel and stirred. Add methanol as a terminator to the mixed raw materials to terminate the reaction; The polymerization product is added to a rubber kneader, along with a vulcanizing agent, accelerator, and antioxidant to obtain melt rubber. The compounded rubber is injected into the inner liner mold, and after vulcanization, it is cooled and demolded to obtain a butyl inner liner.

[0011] The step of "immersing the fabric in a reinforcing coating to obtain the laminated fabric" includes the following steps: Singeing process is applied to polyester knitted fabric; Weigh 20-30% epoxy resin, 10-20% modifier, 1-5% reinforcing agent, 5-10% filler, and the remainder solvent. Mix them evenly in a mixing tank, and then impregnate the polyester knitted fabric through the impregnation tank. The impregnated fabric is dried in an oven, and the dried fabric is then heat-cured and cooled to obtain the laminated fabric.

[0012] Secondly, the butyl-lined PU-coated soccer ball with high sealing performance is prepared using the preparation process of the butyl-lined PU-coated soccer ball with high sealing performance described in the first aspect.

[0013] This invention relates to a high-sealing butyl-lined PU-coated soccer ball and its manufacturing process. The invention uses a butyl liner instead of a traditional rubber liner, improving airtightness by over 60% and extending air retention time to over 30 days without the need for inflation. A modified EVA film serves as a buffer layer, giving the soccer ball a soft touch and excellent resilience, making it less prone to deformation after strong impacts. A developed reinforcing coating formula increases the tensile strength of the bonding fabric by over 40%, effectively maintaining the spherical structure of the liner. A high-viscosity hot melt adhesive layer increases the peel strength between the outer shell and the liner by over 50%, effectively preventing delamination. Butyl rubber sealing strips are installed at the seams to completely eliminate the risk of air leakage. Precise control of the thickness of each material layer ensures uniform weight distribution and significantly improved flight stability. The manufacturing process uses hot-pressing composite bonding instead of solvent bonding, leaving no organic solvent residue, making it environmentally friendly and safe. Attached Figure Description
