EVA
Ethylene-Vinyl Acetate
EVA is a soft, flexible material with rubber-like properties. The material has good shock absorption, is UV resistant and does not absorb water. EVA is often used as a seal, gasket and shock absorber in industry, but also in sports and leisure. Due to its elasticity and chemical inertia, EVA can be used in humid environments without losing its properties. The material can be cut, punched and glued, which makes it easy to adapt to specific needs.
