Ethylene Vinyl Acetate (EVA)
Ethylene-Vinyl Acetate (EVA) thermoplastic materials also known as polyethylene-vinyl-acetate (PEVA), is a copolymer of ethylene and vinyl acetate. In this formation, the weight percentage is variable ranging from 10 to 40 percent and remaining part is ethylene.
EVA copolymer is primarily of three different types, which differ in their vinyl acetate content and the way in which material is used. This porous elastomeric material is approximately three times more flexible than low-density polyethylene (LDPE) with tensile elongation of 750% and highest melting temperature as 96°C.
Properties
EVA Resin is an elastomeric polymer that produces rubber-like materials that are known for their soft and flexible properties. Other EVA Resin advantages include:
- UV Resistant
- Water Resistant
- Stress-Crack Resistant
- Chemical Resistant
- Excellent Processability & Transparency
Applications
- Film
- Foam
- Hot Melt Adhesives
- Wire & Cable
- Extrusion Coating
- Solar Cell Encapsulation
- Automotive
- Packaging & Paper
- Paints, Coatings & Adhesives
- Electronics & Electrical
- Pharmaceutical
- Footwear
- Photovoltaic Panels
- Others (Agriculture and Medical)
