Sabic EVA 2518DF
SABIC EVA 2518DF is an 18% ethylene‑vinyl acetate (EVA) copolymer designed for high-performance foaming applications. Produced via an advanced autoclave process with a built-in thermal stabilizer and no slip/anti-block agents, this resin gives converters maximum flexibility to tailor additive packages for their own unique processes and products.
Trusted by India’s leading manufacturers in Delhi NCR, Bahadurgarh, Gujarat, Haryana, Tamil Nadu, and Maharashtra, SABIC EVA 2518DF is the workhorse foam EVA for footwear, sports, insulation, sealants, and toys – consistently delivering reliable results in high-volume production.
Applications – Where SABIC EVA 2518DF Excels
Foam Footwear, Sports & Leisure
- Regions: Delhi NCR, Bahadurgarh, Gujarat, Tamil Nadu, Maharashtra
- Uses: EVA slippers, sandals, athletic/casual shoe midsoles, sports pads, leisure foam
- Why: 18% VA and 2.5 MFR perfectly match the “18/2.5 foam EVA” spec preferred by Indian converters; 800% elongation and 20 MPa tensile strength yield durable, flexible, and filler-friendly foam for everyday and performance footwear.
Thermal Insulation Foam
- Uses: Pipe/duct insulation, insulation sheets/rolls for HVAC, cold-chain, roofing, and underlay
- Why: Stable cell structure and low-temperature flexibility make it ideal for insulation in cold environments and demanding building envelopes.
Sealants & EVA Compounds
- Uses: Construction sealants, joint fillers, impact-absorbing compounds
- Why: Clean, additive-free base resin allows custom formulation; 18% VA content gives the right balance of polarity and flexibility for many sealing and compounding systems.
Toys & Soft Consumer Products
- Uses: EVA toys, play mats, foam puzzles, craft foam, educational kits
- Why: Soft-touch, high elasticity, safe for kids’ products, and compatible with a wide range of pigments and fillers for vibrant, durable consumer goods.
