Water balls made from PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) are another popular option for recreational water activities. PVC is a widely used plastic known for its versatility and durability. Here’s what you need to know about PVC water balls:

Characteristics of PVC Water Balls:

  1. Durability:

    • Toughness: PVC is durable and can withstand rough handling and impact, making it suitable for recreational use.

    • Abrasion Resistance: PVC is resistant to wear and tear, though it might not be as flexible as TPU.

  2. Flexibility:

    • Less Elastic: PVC is generally less flexible than TPU, which means the water ball may be less elastic and more rigid.

    • Shape Retention: PVC balls hold their shape well but may not have the same bounce and flexibility as those made from TPU.

  3. Safety:

    • Non-Toxic: High-quality PVC used for water balls is generally considered safe and non-toxic.

    • Surface: The surface of PVC water balls is smooth and can be soft, reducing the risk of injury.

  4. Weather Resistance:

    • UV Resistance: PVC has good UV resistance but can become brittle over time with prolonged exposure to sunlight.

    • Water Resistance: PVC is highly resistant to water, which makes it suitable for water-based activities.

  5. Maintenance:

    • Easy to Clean: PVC water balls are relatively easy to clean. Rinse them with fresh water after use to prevent dirt and mold build-up.

    • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place to prevent exposure to extreme temperatures and sunlight.

Applications:

  • Recreational Activities: PVC water balls are used in pools, water parks, and for various water-based games and activities.

  • Sports: They may be used in certain water sports or recreational games that require a durable, water-friendly ball.

Care and Handling:

  • Inflation: Inflate the PVC water ball using a pump, but avoid over-inflating as this can lead to damage. Follow the manufacturer’s recommended pressure.

  • Storage: Store the ball away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures to prolong its lifespan.

  • Cleaning: After use, rinse the ball with clean water and let it dry thoroughly before storing to avoid mold and mildew growth.
