Ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer, EVA for short. General vinyl acetate (VA) content in 5%-40%, compared with polyethylene PE, EVA due to the introduction of vinyl acetate monomer in the molecular chain, thereby reducing the high degree of crystallization, improve toughness, impact resistance, filler phase compatibility and thermal sealing performance, is widely used in foam footwear, functional shed film, packaging mold, hot melt adhesive, wire and cable and toys and other fields.
EVA products with 5% to 10% ethylene acetate content are elastic films. EVA with ethylene acetate content of 20~28% is mainly used for hot melt adhesives and coating products; Ethylene acetate content in 5%~45%, the main products for film (including agricultural film) and sheet, injection molding, molding products, foam products, hot melt adhesives.
1. Foam shoe material. Shoe material is the most important application field of EVA resin in China. In the EVA resin used in shoe materials, the vinyl acetate content is generally 15% to 22%. Because EVA resin blended foam products have soft, elastic, chemical corrosion resistance and other properties, it is widely used in the middle and high grade travel shoes, hiking shoes, slippers, sandals soles and interior materials. In addition, this material is also used in the field of sound insulation boards, gymnastics MATS and seals.
2. Film. The main use of EVA film is the production of functional shed film. Functional shed film has high weather resistance, anti-fogging and insulation properties, because polyethylene does not have polarity, even if a certain amount of anti-fogging agent is added, its anti-fogging performance can only be maintained for about 2 months; The addition of a certain amount of EVA resin made of the shed film, not only has a higher light transmittivity, and anti-fogging performance is also greatly improved, generally more than 4 months. In addition, EVA can also be used to produce packaging film, medical film, laminated film, casting film and so on.
3. Wire and cable. With the continuous development of computer and network engineering, more and more people use halogen-free flame retardant cables and silane cross-linked cables for the safety of computer rooms. Because EVA resin has good packing tolerance and crosslinking, it is used more in halogen-free flame retardant cables, semiconductor shielded cables and two-step silane crosslinked cables. In addition, EVA resin is also used to make some special cable sheathing. EVA resin used in wire and cable, vinyl acetate content is generally 12% to 24%.
4. EVA resin also has more applications in toys, such as children's wheels, seat cushions, etc.
5. Hot melt glue. Hot melt adhesive with EVA resin as the main component, because it does not contain solvents, does not pollute the environment and has high safety, it is very suitable for automated production line, so it is widely used in wireless book binding, furniture edge sealing, automobile and household appliances assembly, shoe making, carpet coating and metal anti-corrosion coating.
6. EVA resin is also widely used in ink, luggage, bottle cushion cover and other fields, and it is estimated that EVA resin consumption in these aspects is not less than 15 kt.
