EVA Foam (Ethylene-Vinyl Acetate Foam) is a Closed Cell Foam with similar properties to PE Foam (Polyethylene). It has a Vinyl Acetate additive giving it a slightly softer consistency and superior elasticity when compared to standard PE Foam (Polyethylene).

EVA Foam Characteristics

Due to its superior elasticity, EVA Foam sheets feature quick compression recovery, retaining its flexibility and offering higher levels of rebound. It has a higher elasticity feel making it ideal for Cosplay and the Costume making industry in general, especially EVA75 (75kg per cubic metre density). It has a slightly higher density giving extra strength, but still easy to conform to shapes with some heat application.

Rebound: EVA is generally known as Shock Deflecting foam having more bounce than PE foam which has more Shock Absorbing qualities.

Versatile and Flexible: EVA foam offers flexibility and softness, making it easy to shape and mould for various applications.

Durable and Lightweight: Known for its durability, EVA foam withstands repeated impacts without adding significant weight.

Water and Chemical Resistance: Exhibiting water and chemical resistance, it is suitable for moist or challenging environments.

Thermal Insulation: With good thermal insulation properties, helping maintain temperature stability.

Shock Absorption: Renowned for its shock absorption, it’s commonly used in protective gear and sports equipment.

Ease of Processing: Easily cut and moulded, allowing for customization in design and form.

Low Odour: Generally low in odour, providing a pleasant user experience, particularly in footwear.

Versatility in Applications: Found in diverse industries, including footwear, sports equipment, packaging, and automotive components.

Comfort and Cushioning: Its soft and cushioning nature contributes to comfort, commonly used in insoles and padding.

Colour Variety: Available in a range of colours, is suitable for applications where aesthetics and branding are important.

Non-Toxic and Safe: Generally considered non-toxic and safe for direct contact with the skin.
