Molten Technology
Molten achieves impeccable quality by combining innovative technology
and superior craftsmanship.
FLISTATEC Volleyball Technology:
FLISTATEC has brought a revolutionary change to the conventional concept of volleyball and created a game that is more exciting than ever. Visibility was improved by placing three streamlined panels on each side of the volleyball in a combination with Molten's original color patterns. The color white can be easily recognized in any type of environment. Yet when adding a combination of red and green colors to this streamlined panel design. the FLISTATEC volleyball visually creates a smoother rotating motion. This original design represents the flame in the letter "O" in the word Molten, symbolizing passion for the game.
Advanced Basketball Technology:
The X‐Series combines Molten’s Advanced Basketball Technology with subtle modifications to provide even more functionality for elite athletes across the globe. Included in the changes are a uniform surface texture and an increase in the color contrast of the signature 12‐panel GUIGIARO design. By integrating tradition with innovation, Molten’s X‐Series aims for maximum grip and control, consistency in contact, and increased visibility.
ACENTEC® - Soccer Ball Technology:
Imagine a ball that is 2.2 times more likely to go precisely where a player aims. That means superior ball control, to help deliver an instinctively precise response in every phase of the game. A ball with water absorbency one-fifth that of a conventional ball, ensuring a high performance that is not affected by weather conditions.
ACENTEC® technology, produced from the cutting-edge automated production line, enabled a distinguished uniform surface. The result is a uniform quality, achieving a constant feel of the ball.

Learn more about compliance with California State's Proposition 65.
California State Proposition 65
What is Proposition 65?
In 1986, California voters approved an initiative to address their growing concerns about exposure to toxic chemicals. That initiative became the Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986 (also known as Proposition 65 or Prop 65). Proposition 65 requires the State to publish a list of chemicals known to cause cancer or birth defects or other reproductive harm. In addition, Proposition 65 requires businesses to notify Californians about chemicals found in the products they purchase, in their homes or workplaces, or that are released into the environment. By providing this information, Proposition 65 enables Californians to make informed decisions about protecting themselves from exposure to these chemicals.
What types of chemicals are on the Proposition 65 list?
The list contains a wide range of naturally occurring and synthetic chemicals. These chemicals include additives or ingredients in pesticides, common household products, food, drugs, dyes, or solvents. Listed chemicals may also be used in manufacturing and construction, or they may be by products of chemical processes, such as motor vehicle exhaust. The list is updated periodically and currently includes more than 900 chemicals, many of which are normally present in common materials, such as vinyl.
What does a Proposition 65 warning mean?
It means that the manufacturer issuing the warning believes that one or more listed chemicals is present in its products, even if it is only present in trace quantities. Please be assured that Molten products labeled in accordance with Proposition 65 comply with all applicable governmental standards, including those under the jurisdiction of the CPSC. Molten labels applicable products as follows:
What requirements does Proposition 65 place on companies doing business in California?
In order to comply with Prop 65, manufacturers are required to clearly post the warning label on or at the point of sale of applicable products if they may be sold in California in order to provide adequate notice to consumers.
Where can I get more information on Proposition 65?
For general information on the Proposition 65 list of chemicals, you may contact OEHHA's Proposition 65 program at (916) 445 - 6900, or visit www.P65Warnings.ca.gov. For enforcement information, contact the California Attorney General's Office at (510) 873 - 6321 , or visit www.P65Warnings.ca.gov.
