APPLICATION ATLAS

The job changes. So should the grade conversation.

Each conversion process asks something different of EVA. Begin with the manufacturing problem, then narrow the material.

SOLAR ENCAPSULATION

Photovoltaic film

EVA resin for encapsulation film systems that protect photovoltaic cells while transmitting light.

Solar film qualification typically considers optical transmission, lamination response, adhesion, crosslinking behavior and long-term module protection. Resin selection must be validated in the customer’s complete formulation.

COMPOUNDING

Wire & cable

EVA base resins for flexible, filled and specialty cable compound formulations.

EVA polarity and filler tolerance make it useful in halogen-free flame-retardant and semiconductive cable compounds. Grade and formulation influence dispersion, extrusion behavior and final mechanical properties.

LIGHTWEIGHT PERFORMANCE

Footwear & foam

EVA grades used in lightweight cushioning for footwear, sports, mats and protective products.

Foam performance emerges from resin choice, formulation and processing together. Common evaluation priorities include cell structure, density, resilience, compression behavior and dimensional stability.

FORMULATED SYSTEMS

Hot-melt adhesives

EVA resins for hot-melt adhesive systems used in packaging, assembly, footwear and other applications.

VA content and melt flow help formulators balance compatibility, wetting, open time, setting behavior and cohesive performance alongside tackifiers, waxes and other additives.

EXTRUSION & MODIFICATION

Coating & modification

EVA for extrusion coating, film modification, polymer blends and other formulated material systems.

The combination of thermoplastic processability and vinyl-acetate polarity enables EVA to support adhesion, flexibility and compatibility across coating and modification routes.
