Ethylene Vinyl Acetate

EVA is a lightweight material. Compared with other shoe materials such as rubber and leather, it is lighter in texture and has excellent softness, which can better fit the shape of the foot and make the foot feel more comfortable. Very beneficial to children's foot development. Many children's shoes are made of EVA material to provide comfort and support.   EVA shoe materials have good shock-resistant properties, which can reduce the impact on the feet during walking and running. Effectively reduce foot fatigue and protect feet from injury. It also has excellent abrasion resistance and can withstand the wear and tear of daily use. Many well-known sports shoe brands use EVA to make midsoles and insoles. Its lightweight and shock-resistant properties make sneakers more suitable for sports and workouts. EVA material also has good breathability and is also very suitable for making summer sandals.   EVA material has good waterproof properties and has good adaptability to wet and beach environments. Therefore, many beach shoes are made of EVA material, which can provide comfort and anti-slip effect in wet and sandy environments.   Manufacturing EVA shoe materials usually includes the following steps: EVA particles are usually white or transparent, and colors can be added as needed; Heat it to a molten state, and then the melted EVA is injected into the mold through an injection molding machine; The injected EVA material is further pressed and molded to obtain the final shoe material shape; The pressed shoe material needs to go through a cooling process to solidify and maintain the desired shape; Then trim to remove excess material so that it achieves the final look.   Website: www.elephchem.com Whatsapp: (+)86 13851435272 E-mail: admin@elephchem.com ElephChem Holding Limited, professional market expert in Polyvinyl Alcohol(PVA) and Vinyl Acetate–ethylene Copolymer Emulsion(VAE) with strong recognition and excellent plant facilities of international standards.

No, Ethylene Vinyl Acetate (EVA) is not the same as Vinyl Acetate-Ethylene (VAE). While both EVA and VAE are copolymers of ethylene and vinyl acetate, they have different structures and properties.   EVA is a copolymer of ethylene and vinyl acetate, where the vinyl acetate content typically ranges from 5% to 50% by weight. It is a flexible, rubbery material commonly used in various applications such as footwear, packaging, and solar cell encapsulation due to its excellent flexibility, low-temperature toughness, and UV resistance. VAE, on the other hand, refers to a different type of copolymer formed by the polymerization of vinyl acetate and ethylene. In VAE, the vinyl acetate content is generally higher than in EVA, typically ranging from 10% to 60% by weight. VAE is often used as a binder or adhesive in construction materials such as paints, coatings, adhesives, and textiles.   So, while both EVA and VAE are copolymers of ethylene and vinyl acetate, they have different compositions and applications.
