EVA/PEVA. Are you not familiar with these terms ? Then believe, that it is a high-quality elastomeric polymer that produces materials which are "rubber-like" in softness and flexibility. Currently this material is widely used in medical engineering, but also for various sports and outdoor equipment.
Key features
EVA/PEVA has a mesh structure, which predetermines its key properties. These include good clarity and gloss, low-temperature toughness, stress-crack resistance, hot-melt adhesive waterproof properties, and resistance to UV radiation.
Applications
EVA/PEVA is highly popular and widely used material. It is used in medical and biomedical engineering - it is used to produce implants, where the risk that the body rejects the implant is absolutely minimal. As already mentioned, EVA/PEVA is also used for various sports and outdoor equipment. To name a few - hockey helmets and gloves, bicycle saddles, fishing rods, sports shoes, ski boots, waterski, and many more. It is also used for production of military hydration packs.
