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.
