Ethylene vinyl acetate: the material from which EVA film is made
As an established film manufacturer, we have the daily incentive to develop innovations that create real added value for our customers' companies. Professional development work and a high level of practical relevance are particularly important to us. We scrutinise new materials with interest to find out how they could complement our well-positioned range of films.
A good example of this is ethylene vinyl acetate, also known by the abbreviation EVA. The material we use for our modern EVA films offers pioneering solutions for numerous industries.
Ethylene vinyl acetate – what is EVA?
Ethylene vinyl acetate is a so-called copolymer – a chemical substance composed of different polymers. The two components of the substance characterise the name of the polymer: ethylene, also known as ethene or hydrogen vinyl, forms the basis of many chemical compounds, particularly in the field of modern plastics. Vinyl acetate is also considered a highly reactive substance in polymer production. The material is used in sporting goods, packaging and the automotive industry. We use EVA for our innovative film products.
What properties characterise EVA films?
We have developed our EVA film evguard® especially for laminated glass and laminated safety glass, particularly for façades and glass. The reason for this is the first-class technical properties of ethylene vinyl acetate.
Both we and our satisfied customers particularly appreciate
- the resistance to heat
- the resistance to ageing
- the elasticity of EVA films
- the good adhesion of EVA products
As an experienced EVA film manufacturer, we have carefully analysed these advantages and are considered pioneers in the production of films made from this material. This makes us proud and is also an incentive to continue developing our products in a consistent and practical manner. The best proof of this is the high-quality EVA film evguard®, which is suitable for a wide range of applications.
Possible applications for EVA films
evguard® films are film solutions that fulfil the high industry-specific requirements of the architecture and interior design sectors. The reason for this is that EVA film enhances laminated safety glass with powerful advantages. Firstly, of course, through the robustness and durability that characterise this type of film. But also through its resistance to heat, which is essential for use around glass and façades. Even fire protection benefits from the use of evguard®.
The safety benefits of evguard® film make it useful in the manufacture of these important types of glass in the architectural area of buildings and façades:
- Laminated glass
- laminated safety glass
- soundproof glass
- fire-resistant glass
But the clever film also provides first-class solutions for other aspects of safety. It is also used when you need a high level of burglary protection or reliable fall protection. This functionality is supported by both the elasticity of the film and its adhesion.
Interior designers also benefit from ethylene vinyl acetate
evguard® is particularly useful as a material and film solution for interior design. Especially as an interlayer film – i.e. as an intermediate layer of laminated glass - this development from our workshop offers exciting and diverse application possibilities. Use the film to achieve modern one-way vision effects, for example, and create an aesthetic advantage with a clever film design. Or we can help you to create very precise textures and colours. The degree of transparency? That's up to you!
