The performance of EVA is greatly related to the content of vinyl acetate (VA). When the content of VA increases, its resilience, flexibility, adhesion, transparency, solubility, stress cracking resistance and impact performance will be improved. When the content of VA decreases, EVA's rigidity, wear resistance and electrical insulation will increase. Generally speaking, when the VA content ranges from 10% to 20%, it is plastic material, while when the VA content exceeds 30%, it is elastic material.
Detailed distinction is shown in the following table:
Ethylene acetic acid (VA) content | characteristic |
10% | Soft than polyethylene, good impact strength, used for packaging bags and films, injection molding parts, cable coating, toys, etc |
10%-20% | Good transparency, resistance to cold and stress cracking, used for making agricultural films, medical appliances, etc |
20%-40% | With good adhesion, used as hot melt adhesives, coatings, etc |
45%-55% | Good elasticity, used as a special rubber, and other rubber compatibility, good processing, available peroxides vulcanization, and vulcanized rubber |
65%~95% | As emulsion, it can be used as adhesive for fiber, paper, etc |
