It offers a good grip but isn’t too heavy or rough, such as a basketball. Many people find real leather ethically wrong so they choose synthetic leather. Synthetic leather is also a lot cheaper and easier to manufacture.
The second and most important component is the rubber bladder, this is made out of polyisobutylene(C4H8)n, the same material as a standard bike inner tube. The rubber bladder is used to give the volleyball a slight bounce but isn’t too heavy. Volleyballs also have a small textured piece of cloth that is attached …show more content…
It’s made from Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC). This material was made in 1872 by German chemist Eugen Baumann on accident. Polyvinyl Chloride is made with Chlorine (Cl) and ethylene. When these two are combined ( at extremely high temperatures) they create vinyl chloride monomer. The vinyl chloride monomer can then be polymerized to make polyvinyl chloride. Polyvinyl Chloride is then turned into what we call “synthetic leather”. Chlorine is found in the ocean water, as a part of sodium chloride (NaCl). It’s also found in the earth’s crust. Interestingly, chlorine is poisonous and sometimes fatal, to humans so it is not naturally in the
