EVA can be processed by many different methods, such as injection molding, extrusion molding, blow molding, calendering and foaming. It is principally used in the production of packaging material, agricultural film, injection-molded products, cable material, foamed plastics, master batch carriers, blending toughening material and damping soundproof material. It can also be used in the production of hot melt adhesive, carpet backing, wax-based coatings and shoe soles. Through hollow molding, EVA can be used for making expandable hoses, micro-irrigation tubes and other types of flexible hoses.
The resin is packaged in brown paper bags and the net weight is 25Kg/bag. The resin should be stored in a drafty, dry warehouse and away from fire and direct sunlight. It should not be piled up in the open air. During transportation, the material should not be exposed to strong sunlight or rain and should not be transported together with sand, soil, scrap metal, coal or glass.
E(EVA) is composed of ethylene monomer and (VA) monomer, and is the fourth largest ethylene copolymer after high-density polyethylene (HDPE), low-density polyethylene (LDPE), and linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE).
