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.
Ethylene vinyl acetate structure.
Ethylene vinyl acetate is a type of plastic a polymer with a wide variety of uses both residential and industrial.
Poly ethylene co vinyl acetate 4 product results.
As the va content increases crystallinity decreases until at 50 the eva is totally amorphous.
Ethylene vinyl acetate or eva is a copolymer of ethylene and vinyl acetate with a structure as shown below.
Vinyl acetate c4h6o2 cid 7904 structure chemical names physical and chemical properties classification patents literature biological activities safety.
It is not vulcanized but has some of the properties of a rubber or of plasticized polyvinyl chloride particularly at the higher end of the range.
The eva copolymer which is based on a medium proportion of va approximately 4 to 30 is referred to as thermoplastic ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer and is a thermoplastic elastomer material.
Ethylene vinyl acetate eva is a random copolymer of ethylene and varying amounts of vinyl acetate va.
The va comonomer interferes with chain packing reducing crystallinity and thus lowering tm and improving transparency when compared with ldpe.
