Marpol EVA 1802
MARPOL EVA 1802 (often called Marco Polo EVA 1802) is an ethylene‑vinyl acetate (EVA) copolymer with 18 wt% vinyl acetate and melt flow rate 2.0 g/10 min (190°C/2.16 kg). It’s engineered for shoe compounds, films, and flexible packaging where flexibility, toughness, and processability are critical. Supplied as white/natural granules, EVA 1802 is globally trusted and widely used in India for footwear compounding, blown film, extrusion coating, foam, and general EVA applications.
Widely used in: Footwear, flexible packaging, film extrusion, foam, and industrial compounding across Delhi-NCR, Gujarat, Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu, and all major Indian manufacturing regions.
Functional Features & Specs – Why EVA 1802 is a Trusted Authority
- 18%-VA-Standard: 18 wt% VA – the classic shoe compound and packaging film composition, balancing flexibility and adhesion.
- 2-MFR-Balanced: Melt flow rate 2.0 g/10 min (190°C/2.16 kg, ASTM D1238) – ideal for compounding, film, and foam processing.
- Low-Temp-Resistant: Brittleness below -76°C, service range down to -80°C – remains flexible in cold-chain, winter, and freezer uses.
- High-Elasticity: Excellent elasticity and cushioning, with high shock absorption and comfort for footwear and packaging.
- Compound-Friendly: Designed for universal EVA compounding – blends well with fillers, rubbers, and other polymers.
- Mechanical Authority: Film yield tensile 41 MPa (MD), dart impact ≈606 g, elongation at yield 410-560% – top-tier for packaging and shoe bases.
- Environmental & Chemical Resistance: Stable across temperatures, with good resistance to chemicals and external impacts.
- Global Certification: Supported by MARPOL/Marco Polo datasheets and international distributor data, making it a reference EVA for technical buyers.
Applications – Where EVA 1802 Excels
Shoe Compounds & Footwear Components
- Regions: Delhi-NCR, Gujarat, Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu
- Uses: Shoe-sole EVA compounds, outsoles, midsoles, insoles, pads, cushioning
- Why: 18% VA, 2.0 MFR, high elasticity and shock absorption – perfect for comfort, durability, and all-weather performance
Films & Flexible Packaging
- Uses: Blown/cast EVA films, flexible packaging, lamination layers, co-extruded film structures
- Why: High mechanical and impact performance, low-temp flexibility, and reliable sealability
Foam & EVA Foam Products
- Uses: Foam sheets, blocks, pads, sports and protective goods, footwear-adjacent foam products
- Why: Good elasticity, low-temp resistance, and shock absorption for cushioning and impact protection
General EVA Compounds & Industrial Uses
- Uses: Base for EVA compounds, modifiers for PE blends, automotive, construction, and consumer goods
- Why: Universal, reliable, and compound-friendly with high mechanical stability
