Abstract

A two-layer leak-proof ball comprises a sheath layer (1), an intermediate body layer (2), a winding yarn layer (3), an inner body layer (4) and a two-layer protective layer (5). The intermediate body layer (2), the winding yarn layer (3), the inner body layer (4) and the two-layer protective layer (5) are tightly set successively at the inside of the sheath layer (1). Also disclosed is the manufacturing method of the two-layer protective layer (5) of the two-layer leak-proof ball. High air-sealed bromide butyl mucilage is injected at the inside of the inner body layer (4), and vulcanized at low temperature, thus a glue film is formed at the inner wall of the inner body layer (4). The inner bag of the two-layer leak-proof ball has high tightness and long service life.

Claims

1. A method of manufacturing a leak-proof ball, comprising:

injecting an air-sealing bromobutyl mucilage into the interior of an inner body layer, said bromobutyl mucilage comprising materials of the following weight part ratios;

40-60 parts of rubber comprising bromobutyl rubber with a weight percentage of 80-100% and natural rubber with a weight percentage of 0-20% 40-60 parts of carbon black of ultra-fine size, having a particle size at least;

325 mesh sieve residue ≤

0.1%; and

1-5 parts of rubber hardener;

distributing the bromobutyl mucilage on the inner wall of the inner body layer, such that the mucilage reinforces the inner wall of the inner body and is tightly adhered to the inner surface of the inner body by freely rotating and bouncing the ball for 20-30 minutes; and

baking the inner body layer for 12 hours in an oven of 40-60°

C.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the bromobutyl mucilage comprises materials of the following weight part ratios:

50 parts of rubber comprising bromobutyl rubber with a weight percentage of 80% and natural rubber with a weight percentage of 20%;

45 parts of carbon black of ultra-fine size, having a particle size at least;

325 mesh sieve residue ≤

0.1%; and

5 parts of rubber hardener; and

wherein the period of time for freely bouncing and rotating the ball is 20 minutes.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein the bromobutyl mucilage comprises materials of the following weight part ratios:

50 parts of rubber comprising bromobutyl rubber with a weight percentage of 100%;

45 parts of carbon black of ultra-fine size, having a particle size at least;

325 mesh sieve residue ≤

0.1%; and

5 parts of rubber hardener; and

wherein the period of time for freely bouncing and rotating the ball is 30 minutes.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein the bromobutyl mucilage comprises materials of the following weight part ratios:

50 parts of rubber comprising bromobutyl rubber with a weight percentage of 90% and natural rubber with a weight percentage of 10%;

45 parts of carbon black of ultra-fine size, having a particle size at least;

325 mesh sieve residue ≤

0.1%; and

5 parts of rubber hardener; and

wherein the period of time for freely bouncing and rotating the ball is 25 minutes.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein the bromobutyl mucilage comprises materials of the following weight part ratios:

50 parts of rubber comprising bromobutyl rubber with a weight percentage of 80% and natural rubber with a weight percentage of 20%;

49 parts of carbon black of ultra-fine size, having a particle size at least;

325 mesh sieve residue ≤

0.1%; and

1 parts of rubber hardener; and

wherein the period of time for freely bouncing and rotating the ball is 25 minutes.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein the bromobutyl mucilage comprises materials of the following weight part ratios:

50 parts of rubber comprising bromobutyl rubber with a weight percentage of 90% and natural rubber with a weight percentage of 10%;

48 parts of carbon black of ultra-fine size, having a particle size at least;

325 mesh sieve residue ≤

0.1%; and

2 parts of rubber hardener; and

wherein the period of time for freely bouncing and rotating the ball is 20 minutes.
