Hanwha TotalEnergies EVA E181F
Hanwha TotalEnergies EVA E181F (often marketed as Hanwha 181F / 18% EVA 181F) is a premium ethylene‑vinyl acetate (EVA) copolymer resin engineered for crosslinked foam applications, especially athletic shoe midsoles, insoles, and performance footwear foam. With 18 wt% vinyl acetate, melt flow rate 2.5 g/10 min (190°C/2.16 kg), and density 0.940 g/cm³, E181F is designed for conventional kneading and rolling equipment to mix crosslinking and foaming agents for high-rebound, cushioned, and robust footwear foams.
Widely used in: Sports shoe manufacturing, foam converters, and footwear supply chains across Delhi-NCR, Gujarat, Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu, and all major Indian footwear clusters.
Functional Features & Specs – Why E181F Leads in Foam Footwear
- 18%-VA-Foam: 18 wt% vinyl acetate – industry standard for athletic and performance foam footwear.
- 2.5-MFR-Foaming: Melt flow rate 2.5 g/10 min (190°C/2.16 kg, ASTM D1238) – perfect for crosslinked foam processing, balancing flow and body.
- Athletic-Focused: Engineered and documented for midsoles/insoles of sports and performance footwear.
- High-Elongation: 750% elongation at break – delivers resilient, cushioned, long-lasting foam.
- Kneader-Friendly: Tailored for use in conventional kneading and rolling equipment for mixing crosslinker and foaming agents.
- Mechanical Authority: Tensile strength ≈ 23.5 MPa, density 0.940 g/cm³ – robust, high-rebound, and lightweight.
- Process Consistency: Detailed Hanwha documentation and global recognition ensure batch-to-batch reliability for converters and shoe brands.
- Global Certification: Supported by Hanwha TotalEnergies leaflets, MSDS, and global distributor data, making E181F a reference foam EVA for technical buyers.
