Material characteristics and application of EVA
Material characteristics of EVA
1、Water tolerance:Closed bubble hole structure, not water absorption, moistureproof, good water resistance.
2、Corrosion resistance:Resistant to seawater, oil, acid, alkali and other chemicals corrosion, antibacterial, non-toxic, tasteless, pollution-free.
3、Machinability:No joint, and easy to hot press, cutting, glue, lamination and other processing.
4、Anti-vibration:High resilience and anti-tension, high toughness, good shock resistance, buffer performance.
5、Heat preservation: excellent performance of heat insulation, heat preservation and low temperature, can withstand cold and exposure.
6、Sound insulation :Closed bubble hole, sound insulation effect is good
EVA resin is widely used
Due to the introduction of vinyl acetate monomer into the molecular chain, EVA reduces the high crystallinity, improves the flexibility, impact resistance, stuffing compatibility and heat sealing performance, and is widely used in the fields of foam shoe materials, functional shed film, packaging film, hot melt adhesive, wire and cable and toys. Generally speaking, the performance of EVA resin mainly depends on the content of vinyl acetate on the molecular chain.
Foam material
Shoe material is the main application field of EVA resin in China. EVA resin used in shoes, vinyl acetate content is generally in 15% ~ 22%. Because EVA resin blend foam products have soft, good elasticity, resistance to chemical corrosion and other properties, so it is widely used in high-grade tourism shoes, mountaineering shoes, slippers, sandals sole and interior decoration materials. In addition, this kind of material still is used in soundproof board, gymnastics mat and sealing material field.
Thin film
EVA film is mainly used in the production of functional film. Functional shed film thermal insulation performance and anti-fog drop performance is super, adding a certain amount of EVA resin made of shed film, not only has a higher light transmissibility, but also anti-fog drop performance has been greatly improved, generally can be more than 4 months. In addition, EVA film is used to produce packaging film, medical film, laminate film and casting film.
Electric wire
With the development of computer and network engineering, due to the safety of computer rooms, halogen-free flame retardant cables and silane crosslinked cables are increasingly used. EVA resin is widely used in halogen-free flame retardant cables, semiconductor shielded cables and two-step silane crosslinked cables due to its good packing inclusion and crosslinking property. In addition, EVA resin is also used to make some special cable sheath. EVA resin used in wire and cable, vinyl acetate content in general in 12% ~ 24%.
