EVA Foam
EVA is a Co-Polymer of Ethylene and Vinyl Acetate. The foam is closed cell and impervious to liquids. The vinyl acetate gives the foam a more “rubbery”, resilient feel to its Polyethylene foam counterpart at the same density. Some call Polyethylene foam, EVA as they are so alike.
It is a polymer that approaches elastomeric materials in softness and flexibility, yet can be processed like other thermoplastics.
There are 3 main densities as standard and readily available
EV50 grey
PE125EV red, yellow, green, black & blue(colours in 2mm and 6mm). Other thicknesses are available in black.
PE30EEV and PE45EEV are new products in black with extra EVA additive. MOQ’s are a blocks worth.
