ELVAX™ 460 Ethylene Vinyl Acetate Copolymer

What is ELVAX™ 460 Ethylene Vinyl Acetate Copolymer?

An EVA polymer designed for low seal initiation temperature with good optical and excellent abuse performance for both food, consumer, and industrial applications. It is an ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer (EVA) designed to offer low sealing temperatures (<100ºC), excellent flexibility, and good optical properties. The acetate level is tailored to provide strong adhesion to polar substrates with an additional feature of increased impact and puncture resistance making this resin well suited for both packaging and industrial applications.

Uses

Footwear
Mid-sole construction material used to bind shoe uppers to the sole
Foamable to provide impact / cushioning

Benefits

Low seal initiation temperature for improved packaging efficiency
