What is the difference between PU and rubber:
1. Different materials
Rubber basketballs are made of rubber; PU basketballs are made of synthetic leather.
2. Different venues
Large-scale basketball events all specify the use of basketballs made of PU material, in order to allow athletes to perform better, while rubber basketballs are only balls used by people for daily entertainment.
3. Different feeling of use
Rubber basketballs feel relatively hard; PU basketballs are made of synthetic leather, which is very comfortable in terms of elasticity and feel.
4. Different prices
Rubber basketballs are relatively cheap and suitable for children and entertainment; PU basketballs are relatively expensive and suitable for beginners and basketball enthusiasts.
5. Different degrees of wear resistance
Rubber basketballs have strong elasticity and are not particularly hard when fully inflated, and their surfaces are not easily damaged (here refers to water corrosion); PU basketballs have just the right elasticity and are hard when fully inflated, and the surface easily peels off when wet.
Advantages of pu basketball and rubber basketball:
The wear resistance of PU basketball is often several to dozens of times that of ordinary rubber materials. PU material is more widely used in real life and is environmentally friendly. Its performance in all aspects is closer to or even better than genuine leather.
PU leather generally refers to microfiber leather. The full name of microfiber leather is "microfiber reinforced leather". It has extremely excellent wear resistance, excellent breathability and aging resistance, is soft and comfortable, has strong flexibility and is currently advocated for environmental protection.
Rubber basketball has high elasticity and low elastic modulus. It generally has a large elongation deformation between 1 and 9.8MPa. The elongation can be as high as 1000%. It still shows recoverable characteristics and can be used in a wide range of temperatures (- Remains elastic within the range of 50 to 150℃).
The viscoelasticity of a rubber basketball. Rubber is a viscoelastic body. Due to the existence of forces between macromolecules, rubber is affected by external forces. When deformation occurs, it is affected by conditions such as time and temperature, and exhibits obvious stress relaxation and creep phenomena.
