Vinyl acetate is the acetate ester of vinyl alcohol.
Expanded vinyl acetate.
Eva expanded vinyl acetate foam decking products have been become wildly popular due to the low cost great looks simple installation and comfort.
With softness and flexibility approaching elastomeric materials eva has good clarity and gloss barrier properties low temperature toughness stress crack resistance and ultraviolet uv resistance.
Eva mats will have a glossy appearance and are resistant to uv radiation and cracking.
It is a copolymer and is processed as a thermoplastics mater.
This is therefore significantly higher than comparable particle foams such as expanded polypropylene epp at 30 ethylene vinyl acetate eva at 37 or expanded polyethylene epe at 50.
Ethylene vinyl acetate or eva material is an elasticized closed cell foam with rubber like softness and flexibility.
The eva copolymer which is based on a low proportion of va may be referred to as vinyl acetate modified polyethylene.
Eva foam is used as padding in equipment for various sports such as ski boots hockey boxing mixed martial arts wakeboard boots and waterski boots.
Since vinyl alcohol is highly unstable with respect to acetaldehyde the preparation of vinyl acetate is more complex than the synthesis of other acetate esters.
Eva foam is also waterproof.
Westlake specializes in ethylene vinyl acetate eva formulations with vinyl acetate content that has expanded up to 28 appropriate for use in thermoplastic extrusion film compounds and foam molding.
