What is EVA Foam?
EVA (Ethylene Vinyl Acetate) is a thermoplastic elastomer produced by copolymerization of ethylene and vinyl acetate monomers. Its closed-cell structure makes it waterproof, antibacterial, lightweight and highly impact-absorbing — properties that make it indispensable across 8 industrial sectors.

EVA Foam Applications by Industry
1. Footwear Manufacturing
EVA foam is the standard raw material for midsoles, insoles and slipper bases. Its combination of lightness and impact absorption is unmatched. Density 80–150 kg/m³, thickness 4–36mm depending on application.
2. Automotive Interiors
Car mat and boot liner manufacturers source EVA foam rolls in 2–8mm thickness. The waterproof, odorless and die-cut compatible properties make it ideal for high-volume OEM supply.
3. Sports & Fitness
Tatami mats, gym flooring, boxing padding and padel racket cores all rely on EVA foam. Density 30–150 kg/m³ covers the full range from soft yoga mats to firm martial arts tatami.
4. Packaging & Protection
CNC-cut EVA foam inserts protect sensitive equipment during transport. Custom shapes produced from CAD/DXF files with clean, professional finish.
5. Furniture
Sofa and chair manufacturers use EVA foam padding for high resilience and long service life. Available in sheet and block format, 5–60mm thickness.
6. Aviation
Aircraft seat padding requires lightweight, REACH-compliant foam. EVA meets the strict weight and durability requirements of the aviation sector.
7. Education Facilities
Nurseries and kindergartens use CE-certified colorful EVA puzzle mats for safe, antibacterial flooring.
8. Home & Interior
Under-rug anti-slip layers, balcony flooring and sound insulation are common home applications.
