The mi values are mostly ranging from 3 to 2500.
Ethylene vinyl acetate melting temperature.
Eva hot melt adhesive is a 100 solid transparent flexible ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer.
Ethylene vinyl acetate known as eva is the copolymer of ethylene and vinyl acetate.
Most commonly used evas contain between 19 and 28 va.

It is the basis of many hot melt adhesives when blended with a petroleum wax and a resin tackifier.
There are three different types of eva copolymer which differ in the vinyl acetate va content and the way the materials are used.

Also it imparts plastic like properties that enable wax to compete effectively with high quality polymeric coatings.
Ethylene vinyl acetate is a type of plastic a polymer with a wide variety of uses both residential and industrial.
The food and drug administration fda has stated that ethylene vinyl acetate is safe when used in food production packaging or transportation and it s not an especially dangerous material.
Dies are recommended since at sustained melt temperatures above 455 f 235 c ethylene vinyl acetate eva resins may thermally degrade and release corrosive by products.
Whereas evas are solid materials used for hot melt and plastic molding applications.
It is normally categorized by percent va content and melt flow rate mfr or melt index mi.
Ethylene vinyl acetate eva also known as poly ethylene vinyl acetate peva is the copolymer of ethylene and vinyl acetate the weight percent of vinyl acetate usually varies from 10 to 40 with the remainder being ethylene.
47 but elevated temperature and presence of some additives for example high amounts of clay cause the production of pungent acetic acid odor which is a product of thermal degradation.
8 10 ethylene vinyl acetate eva.
Ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer does not have an acid odor if it is not thermally degraded.
Eva ethylene vinyl acetate this copolymer resin can be used in adhesives sealants and coatings.
5 13 it is a polymer that approaches elastomeric materials in softness and flexibility yet can be processed like other thermoplastics.
The weight percent of vinyl acetate usually varies from 10 to 40 with the remainder being ethylene.
