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.
Properties of EVA
- Rubber-like in softness and flexibility
- Good clarity and shine
- Toughness at low temperatures
- Stress crack resistance
- Resistance to UV radiation.
