Ethylene-Vinyl Acetate
Description
EVA 6.28 is an ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) copolymer with 28% VA content. It is a high viscosity EVA resin which is often used to improve low temperature performance. It contains a pellet handling additive commonly used in some EVA resins, particularly those having higher VA content and higher melt indexes. It is added to improve pellet flowability.
