Evazote EV50 is a premium closed-cell ethylene vinyl acetate or EVA foam from Zotefoams, crafted using a patented nitrogen expansion process. Renowned for its lightweight, durable, and resilient properties, this foam is ideal for demanding applications requiring superior impact absorption, softness, and long-term performance.

Description

EV50 (EVA foam) Key Features:

  • Density: 50 kg/m³ (3.12 PCF), offering a balance of softness and strength.

  • Closed-Cell Structure: Waterproof, buoyant, and resistant to chemicals, oils, and road salts, with no water or odor absorption.

  • Durability: Exceptional tear resistance, fast recovery, and resistance to compression set and creep, ensuring a long lifespan.

  • Thermal Range: Operates effectively from -70°C to 65°C, with excellent thermal insulation properties.

  • Impact Absorption: High resilience and softness make it ideal for protective and cushioning applications.

  • Safety & Compliance: Non-toxic, hypoallergenic, and compliant with RoHS and REACH standards. Free from CFCs/HCFCs and recyclable.

EV50 (EVA foam) Common Applications:

  • Sports & Leisure: Padding for helmets, yoga mats, flotation devices, and backpack components.

  • Medical & Orthotics: Cushioning for prosthetics, orthotic insoles, and medical device padding.

  • Packaging & Protection: High-quality protective foam for sensitive equipment and fragile goods.

  • Construction: Expansion joints, gaskets, and insulation for robust, weather-resistant applications.

  • Automotive & Aerospace: Vibration dampening, seals, and lightweight structural components.

Why Choose Evazote EV50?
Evazote EV50 combines a higher vinyl acetate content for enhanced softness with the toughness of closed-cell foam, outperforming standard foams in durability and resilience. Its ability to withstand harsh environments and repeated impacts makes it a top choice for high-performance applications.

Technical Data Sheets

Material Safety Data Sheets

Cutting Methods

Splitting

Taking a thicker foam sheet, typically 100mm thick, and splitting or slicing down to a thinner sheet. Tolerances as fine as 0.2mm. A high vacuum bed holds the foam steady, then moves it across a fine, consistently sharpened blade.

Bandsaw

Used for creating a consistent, straight cut to alter the width or length of foam sheets, slabs, or blocks.

CNC Routing

CNC routing machines remove material from a secured foam sheet to create any shape or beveled edge required. A specialized router bit, chosen for quality foam conversion, follows a precise path programmed by engineers. Intricate patterns can be machined into the foam.

CNC Water Jet Cutting

A more affordable CNC method, cutting through thick material in a single pass with pressurized water, reducing production time and cost. Small radius cuts are possible as the thin stream removes fine amounts of material. No variable depth is available.

CNC Knife Cutting

Fast and precise, reducing machine time and job cost. Limitations include limited cutting depth (based on knife length) and the need for cuts to penetrate fully through the foam. Various depths can be achieved by layering, adhering, or butt welding cut foam pieces.

CNC Wire Cutting

Cuts 2D profiles from foam sheets or slabs up to 2.4 meters in length and any height, often referred to as a profile cut.

Joining Methods

Laminating

Joins two foam sheets to increase thickness, with the join stronger than an unmodified sheet. Achieved by applying even heat to two sheets and feeding them through rollers with precise compression and feed rate.

Butt Welding

Joins large foam pieces post-machining (e.g., top and base) or connects sheets, slabs, or blocks end-to-end or stacked. The join is stronger than an unmodified sheet.

Adhesion Tapes

Adhesive peel-off tapes (e.g., 3M, Stickyback, or Stix2Bricks™) are applied to foam sheets for easy end-user application.

Surfacing Methods

Buffing

Foam is passed through brushed and knurled rolls, creating a ‘furry’ surface on the top and bottom for improved grip in wet or slip-conscious areas.

Embossing

Surface heating of foam followed by cooling under a patterned or smooth surface. The foam moulds to the pattern or forms a smoother ‘skin,’ making the surface more abrasion-resistant and easier to clean, without the typical fine cell structure.

Laser Cutting & Etching

Used for precise material removal, ideal for lettering, logos, and shallow surface customizations.
