Ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA) copolymer, scientifically identified by its CAS number 24937-78-8, is a highly versatile synthetic polymer that bridges the gap between polyethylene and polyvinyl acetate. This copolymer’s unique properties stem from the combination of ethylene, providing toughness and chemical resistance, and vinyl acetate, imparting flexibility, adhesion, and lower melting points. For industries requiring a material with tunable characteristics, sourcing high-quality EVA from a reliable manufacturer is essential.

Core Properties of EVA Copolymer

Our Ethylene-Vinyl Acetate Copolymer is typically presented as a fine white powder, indicating a high degree of purity. With a guaranteed minimum assay of 99.0%, this material meets rigorous international standards such as USP, BP, EP, and FCC, making it suitable for a wide array of sensitive applications. The performance characteristics of EVA can be significantly modulated by adjusting the vinyl acetate (VA) content. Generally, an increase in VA content leads to:

  • Enhanced flexibility and softness.
  • Improved adhesion to various substrates.
  • Greater clarity and gloss.
  • Better low-temperature toughness.
  • Reduced tensile strength but increased elongation at break.

These attributes allow EVA to function effectively as a thermoplastic elastomer, exhibiting rubber-like properties without the need for vulcanization.

Industrial Applications Driving Demand

The adaptability of Ethylene-Vinyl Acetate Copolymer makes it a sought-after material across numerous industries:

  • Adhesives: EVA is a primary component in hot-melt adhesives, crucial for packaging, bookbinding, and footwear manufacturing due to its excellent tack, fast setting, and good adhesion. Manufacturers looking to buy reliable adhesive ingredients find our product to be a prime choice.
  • Films and Sheets: Its flexibility, clarity, and heat-sealability make it ideal for flexible packaging films, agricultural films, and protective laminates.
  • Wire and Cable Insulation: EVA's dielectric properties, flexibility, and low-temperature performance ensure safe and durable insulation for electrical applications. We supply this critical material to wire and cable producers.
  • Footwear: The lightweight, shock-absorbing, and flexible nature of EVA makes it a popular choice for shoe midsoles, insoles, and sandal components.
  • Coatings: It can be used in coatings to improve adhesion, flexibility, and water resistance.
