EVA Rubber Sponge (Ethylene-Vinyl Acetate)

EVA (Ethylene-Vinyl Acetate)

Ethylene Vinyl Acetate (EVA) is a copolymer made from ethylene (E) and vinyl acetate (VA). The proportion of vinyl acetate can range from 10% to 60%, with higher levels providing more rubber-like characteristics. We offer a wide selection of EVA materials and keep six key grades in stock. Each provides a soft, flexible feel with a low compression set, making them ideal for a variety of applications.

Material Properties

  • Closed Cell.
  • Resistance to UV.
  • Good Buoyancy.
  • Good recovery to original shape after compression.
  • Many densities and colours available.
  • Excellent for printing on.

Material Uses

  • Shock Absorption in sports shoes and Orthotics.
  • Childs Toys.
  • Arts and Crafts.
  • Sports Mats.
  • Gaskets.
  • Water Sports.

EPDM
EPDM Quick View
EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer) is a synthetic Sponge Rubber. It is a good all round Elastomer used in many industries. EPDM sponge Rubber has excellent water, ozone and UV light resistance
EVA
EVA Quick View
Ethylene-Vinyl Acetate (EVA) cellular sponge offers rubber like qualities in softness and flexibility and can be used economically in a wide range of applications. The higher the VA content - the more rubber like qualities it offers
Natural Open Cell Rubber Natural Open Cell Rubber
Natural Open Cell Rubber is the first type of Sponge Rubber that is made by adding a blowing agent like baking soda to the uncured sponge rubber. It then rises or expands under low pressure a little like a cake would rise.
Neoprene
Neoprene Quick View
Developed as an oil resistant replacement for Natural Rubber. Neoprene is a soft and flexible sponge rubber with a unique molecular structure that makes it resistant to breakdown by both water and air
