ETHYLENE-VINYL ACETATE (EVA) |

|
Ethylene-vinyl acetate is commonly known as acetate or EVA. It is a polyolefin that approaches elastomeric materials in softness and flexibility, yet can be processed like other thermoplastics. The material has good clarity and gloss, barrier properties, low-temperature toughness, stress-crack resistance, hot-melt adhesive and heat sealing properties and resistance to UV radiation. EVA has little or no odor and is competitive with rubber and vinyl products in many electrical applications.
