Ethylene Vinyl Acetate (EVA)

This copolymer resin can be used in adhesives, sealants and coatings. It is the basis of many hot melt adhesives when blended with a petroleum wax and a resin tackifier. Also, it imparts plastic-like properties that enable wax to compete effectively with high-quality polymeric coatings. Flexibility, resilience, toughness and transparency increase with increasing vinyl acetate content.
