ELVAX™ Ethylene Vinyl Acetate Copolymer Resins

High-performance sealants for flexible applications

Our ELVAX™ Ethylene Vinyl Acetate (EVA) copolymer resins offer excellent clarity, adhesion and toughness for sealants in meat and dairy packaging structures, footwear, wire and cable insulation, as well as photovoltaic encapsulants and sheets. ELVAX™ EVA can also be a powerful improvement on PVC in non-invasive medical tubing and bag applications.

ELVAX™ EVA copolymer resins can be used for blown or cast monolayer and coextruded films or blended with other resins. Other grades can be used for molded or extruded liner seals inside plastic and metal bottle caps.
