Polene EVA N8038

Polene EVA N8038 is a premium 18% ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) copolymer resin from TPI Polene Public Company Limited (Thailand), produced via advanced high-pressure polymerization. Engineered for foam shoes, sheets, extrusion, cable jacketing, and industrial applications, N8038 stands out for its exceptional low-temperature resistance, superior elasticity, and reliable processability. Its tightly controlled molecular structure ensures batch-to-batch consistency, high mechanical strength, and outstanding foaming performance – making it the trusted choice for manufacturers seeking quality, compliance, and versatility.

In-Depth Product Description 

Polene EVA N8038 is produced via high-pressure polymerization, resulting in a soft, flexible thermoplastic copolymer with outstanding uniformity and mechanical properties. The 18 wt% vinyl acetate content is foam-optimized, providing a perfect balance of elasticity and low-temperature performance. N8038 is supplied as natural/white pellets (25 kg bags) and contains a standard thermal stabilizer package-no slip/antiblock additives, making it ideal for custom additive integration. The resin is FDA and EU food-contact compliant, RoHS/REACH certified, and meets global safety and labeling standards. Its low melting point (86°C) enables energy-efficient processing and fast cycle times, while excellent filler and blowing agent compatibility make it suitable for diverse industrial formulations.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes Polene EVA N8038 unique versus other EVA grades?
N8038’s combination of 18% vinyl acetate, high-pressure polymerization, and absence of slip/antiblock additives yields superior low-temperature flexibility (down to -40°C), outstanding elasticity (820% elongation), and reliable foaming-making it ideal for outdoor, cold-climate, and high-comfort applications.
N8038 delivers lightweight, resilient foam with uniform cell structure and excellent compression set. It maintains flexibility and comfort in a wide temperature range, enabling premium-quality foam shoes and sheets for both domestic and export markets.
N8038 processes easily via compression/injection molding, extrusion, and blow molding. Use 1-3% blowing agent for foam, process at 130-180°C, and ensure material is dry for best results. Its MFI of 2.3 ensures smooth flow and minimal defects.
It offers a density of 0.941 g/cm³, tensile strength of 24 MPa, elongation at break of 820%, and a soft-yet-durable hardness (37 Shore D). This combination ensures both comfort and long-term durability in footwear and cushioning products.
Yes, N8038 is FDA 21 CFR 177.1350 and EU 10/2011 compliant, RoHS/REACH certified, and free from heavy metals. It’s safe for skin contact (insoles, toys), food-service equipment, and consumer goods requiring global safety compliance.
Its versatility allows manufacturers to use a single resin for foam, extrusion, injection, and compounding-reducing supply chain complexity and inventory costs while maintaining high product quality and performance.
