EVA (Ethylene Vinyl Acetate) off-grade

EVA (Ethylene Vinyl Acetate) off-grade is a variant of EVA that does not meet the prime specifications typically required for high-end applications. Despite this, EVA off-grade still maintains many of the valuable properties of standard EVA, making it suitable for a variety of industrial uses where specific quality standards are less critical.

Key properties include:

1. Flexibility and Elasticity: EVA off-grade retains good flexibility and elasticity, making it useful in applications requiring these characteristics, such as foam production and cushioning materials.
2. Impact Resistance: It has a decent level of impact resistance, which can be advantageous in protective packaging and similar uses.
3. Adhesion: EVA off-grade possesses good adhesive properties, suitable for use in hot melt adhesives and various bonding applications.
4. Weather and UV Resistance: It offers moderate resistance to weathering and UV exposure, suitable for certain outdoor applications.
5. Processing Versatility: This material can be processed through various methods such as extrusion, injection molding, and blow molding, allowing for diverse application possibilities.

Common applications of EVA off-grade include:

• Foam products (e.g., footwear, mats, and padding)
• Adhesives and sealants
• General-purpose packaging materials
• Agricultural films and sheets
• Low-cost consumer goods

EVA off-grade is a cost-effective alternative for applications where the highest quality EVA is not necessary, providing a balance between performance and affordability.
