EVA

Ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer

EVA is a flexible copolymer that softens from polyethylene towards rubber as the vinyl acetate content rises. It stays flexible at low temperature, is clear and foams easily. Foam shoe soles, hot-melt adhesives, greenhouse film and solar-panel encapsulant film are typical uses.

Overview

EVA is the standard grade of the EVA family in the elastomers group. It is used in applications such as foam soles and sports goods, hot-melt adhesives, greenhouse and flexible packaging film. The grade with the right flow for injection, extrusion or another process is specified in the quotation together with your quantity and colour; TDS and SDS are sent with the quotation.

Tensile strength is measured to ISO 527, melt flow rate to ISO 1133, heat deflection temperature to ISO 75 (1.8 MPa); flammability class per UL94. Depending on supplier and grade, values can fall outside this range.

Applications

  • Foam soles and sports goods
  • Hot-melt adhesives
  • Greenhouse and flexible packaging film
  • Solar-panel encapsulation

Documents

The supplier's technical data sheet (TDS) and safety data sheet (SDS) for EVA are sent by e-mail with the quoted grade; because the same code has different sheets at different suppliers we do not publish a single file on the site. To see the sheet in advance, request it with the link below.
