Nitroblock™ Soccer Balls
The standard latex soccer ball will go flat in a few days. Flat balls make for lousy play – no touch or control – no perfection.
Why do balls go flat so easily? The air inside an inflated soccer ball is under high pressure and wants to equalize with the lower air pressure outside the ball. Natural latex, the common bladder material for high-end balls, is very porous and allows small air molecules to easily permeate through the bladder wall. Ultimately, the pressure inside the ball becomes equal to the pressure outside; within a couple days, you'll notice enough air has escaped that the ball feels flat.
Our Nitroblock™ latex bladders utilize a sophisticated molecular structure that has superior rebound but dramatically lowers air permeability through its surface and thereby improves its air retention. The pressurized air inside is blocked from escaping our latex bladder wall.
So, we can offer high-end balls that hold air like butyl bladder balls, but play like the best quality latex bladder balls.
- NITROBLOCK™ LATEX BLADDER: Nitroblock™ latex bladders are made from a specialty rubber that holds air better because it has billions of big molecules that block pores and hold air inside
- PREMIUM CASING MATERIAL: All Nitroblock™ soccer balls use high quality imported casing materials with performance PV backing fabric to maintain great playability.
- POLYUREATHANE SEALED SEAMS: The PU coating prevents water from seeping into the seams. Water uptake can add weight and degrade the backing fabric that keeps the ball round.
