About Ethylene Vinyl Acetate
About Ethylene Vinyl Acetate. Ethylene Vinyl Acetate (a.k.a. EVA) is the copolymer of ethylene and vinyl acetate. EVA properties vary depending on the comonomers contents. Vinyl acetate increases gas permeability, impact strength, crystallinity, coefficient of friction and optical qualities. Meanwhile, higher ethylene content increases sealing temperature, stiffness and surface hardness. As a thermoplastic, EVA is capable of melting and flowing (in a reversible physical transformation) when subjected to increases in temperature and pressure, assuming a specified form when those conditions cease. Exhibiting properties like good toughness, flexibility, clarity and gloss, this thermoplastic material is one of the most important poly(vinyl esters).
Copolymers of ethylene with vinyl acetate are normally produced on commercial scale either from bulk continuous polymerization or solution polymerization.
Ethylene Vinyl Acetate Handling. Ethylene Vinyl Acetate should be stored in closed container in a cool place. It must be kept away from heat, sparks and flame.
Ethylene Vinyl Acetate Production. Raw materials and the respective production processes employed in the manufacturing of Ethylene Vinyl Acetate are listed below.
- Ethylene + vinyl acetate (solution/emulsion/high-pressure bulk polymerization)
Ethylene Vinyl Acetate Uses. The uses and applications of Ethylene Vinyl Acetate may vary according to its specification. The main forms of Ethylene Vinyl Acetate are 7.5 to 50 wt% vinyl acetate content.
In general, EVA with very low vinyl-acetate content (~ 3% mole) is used as a film due to its flexibility and surface gloss (essentially a modified low-density polyethylene). EVA with ~ 11% mole vinyl acetate is widely used in the hot-melt coatings and adhesives, while EVA with 15% percent vinyl acetate present similar mechanical properties to plasticized PVC.
