Ethylene Vinyl Acetate/ VAC- copolymers (EVA)

Ethylene Vinyl Acetate (EVA) is a copolymer, meaning it’s a polymer made from two different monomers: ethylene and vinyl acetate. The ratio of these monomers can be varied to adjust the properties of the resulting EVA.

Key Properties of EVA

Flexibility: EVA is known for its excellent flexibility and softness.
Impact Resistance: It exhibits good impact strength and toughness.
Good Chemical Resistance: EVA is resistant to many chemicals and solvents.
Low-Temperature Flexibility: EVA maintains its flexibility even at low temperatures.
Excellent Processability: EVA is easily processed using methods like injection molding, extrusion, and blow molding.
Good Adhesion: EVA has good adhesive properties and can be used as a hot melt adhesive.

Applications of EVA

Footwear: Shoe soles, insoles, and athletic footwear.
Packaging: Cushioning materials, bubble wrap, and protective packaging.
Sports Equipment: Mats, protective gear, and sports balls.
Toys: Soft toys, dolls, and children’s play equipment.
Construction: Roofing membranes, waterproofing materials, and adhesives.
Medical Devices: Medical tubing, gloves, and other medical supplies.
