Sipchem EVA 3522 CO

Sipchem EVA 3522 CO is a 22% ethylene‑vinyl acetate (EVA) copolymer resin manufactured by IPC, an affiliate of Sipchem, Saudi Arabia using ExxonMobil high‑pressure tubular process. Designed for specialty extrusion and compounding, it produces soft articles with excellent low‑temperature toughness-making it ideal for foams, extruded profiles, and EVA-based compounds in consumer goods, packaging, and footwear-adjacent products. Widely used in: Foams, flexible extrusions, specialty compounding, and consumer/packaging markets across Delhi-NCR, Gujarat, Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu, and other Indian clusters.

Functional Features & Specs - Why 3522 CO is the Authority

  • 22%-VA-Softness: 22 wt% VA for extra softness and rubber-like flexibility-outperforms 18% VA grades in comfort and low-temp toughness.
  • 3.5-MFI-Extrusion: Melt index 3.5 g/10 min (190°C/2.16 kg, ASTM D1238) for superior flow in extrusion, profile, and compounding.
  • Tubular-Process: Made by ExxonMobil high-pressure tubular tech for uniformity and high-quality foamability.
  • Additive-Clean: Only thermal stabiliser (~300 ppm), no antiblock/slip-perfect for custom compounding and extrusion.
  • Soft-Tough Balance: Tensile 9.6 MPa, elongation >800%, Shore A 78/ Shore D 32-delivers soft, flexible, and durable end products.
  • Density: 0.944 g/cm³ (ASTM D1505)-lightweight, supports foam and profile expansion.
  • Thermal Profile: Melting point 82°C, Vicat 58°C-fits standard EVA foam/extrusion processing windows.
  • Food-Contact Acceptable: Suitable for select consumer and packaging applications (verify regulatory compliance per end use).
All specs are backed by Sipchem’s TDS, distributor data, and global application references-making 3522 CO a proven choice for specialty EVA needs in India.

Applications - Where EVA 3522 CO Excels

Then the question arises: where’s the content? Not there yet? That’s not so bad, there’s dummy copy to the rescue. But worse, what if the fish doesn’t fit in the can, the foot’s to big for the boot? Or to small? To short sentences, to many headings, images too large for the proposed design, or too small, or they fit in but it looks iffy for reasons.

A client that’s unhappy for a reason is a problem, a client that’s unhappy though he or her can’t quite put a finger on it is worse. Chances are there wasn’t collaboration, communication, and checkpoints, there wasn’t a process agreed upon or specified with the granularity required. It’s content strategy gone awry right from the start. If that’s what you think how bout the other way around? How can you evaluate content without design? No typography, no colors, no layout, no styles, all those things that convey the important signals that go beyond the mere textual, hierarchies of information, weight, emphasis, oblique stresses, priorities, all those subtle cues that also have visual and emotional appeal to the reader.
