This technology is often used in high-end match footballs, including some of the official balls used in FIFA World Cup tournaments and other professional leagues.
THERMO BONDED TECHNOLOGY
Durability
The absence of stitches means there are no weak points that might wear out over time. Thermo-bonded balls are generally more durable than stitched ones, as they are less prone to water absorption and damage.
Water Resistance
With no stitching to allow water to seep in, thermo-bonded footballs remain more stable in wet conditions, maintaining their weight and shape better than stitched footballs, which can become heavier when soaked.
Enhanced Aerodynamics
The smooth, seamless surface of thermo-bonded footballs provides more consistent flight behavior. This can improve accuracy, speed, and control, as there is less interference from uneven stitching.
Better Shape Retention
Because the panels are heat-sealed, thermo-bonded footballs are better at retaining their shape over time compared to stitched balls, which can deform with heavy use.
