The special feature of the dual bonded production method is that the ball’s 32 panels are both stitched together and then sealed in the edges. A DB ball is a construction that consists of a TPU-material laminated with foam. Next, two layers of textile underlining are laminated to the foam layer to add stability. The panels are then printed with 3 mm. edge glue and stitched by hand or machine. The glue is activated in the heat mold to hide the stitches and the seam sealing is done by hand. By using glue in the sealing of the seams, the water uptake is reduced significantly. The bladder inside is an SR bladder with excellent air retention. The result is a football with both stability, control and a softer touch compared to other soccer balls.
