EVA

EVA is the copolymer of ethylene and vinyl acetate. EVA is an elastomeric polymer that produces materials that are rubber-like in terms of softness and elasticity. The material is characterized by good clarity and gloss, toughness at low temperatures, resistance to stress cracking, resistance to hot melt adhesives and UV rays. EVA has a characteristic vinegar odor and is competitive with rubber and vinyl polymer products in many electrical applications. It is widely used in water-based adhesives for wood and paper packaging, nonwovens (technical fabrics), paper saturations, paper and cardboard coatings, carpet backings, redispersible powders, impregnating agents, coatings, building and construction products, fiberglass sizing.
