EVA 1.5mm applications
Button shroud
Button shrouds are small pieces of plastic that cover buttons, switches, and other electronic components that need protection from the elements or accidental contact. Ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA) can produce a strong, durable, and waterproof product that can be relied on to provide this protection.
Face brush
EVA is a lightweight yet durable material that is soft to the touch, making it ideal for a comfortable, gentle brushing experience that won't cause irritation or abrasions on the skin. The individual bristles can be customized to the desired shape and size, depending on the user's preferences and needs.
Food lid
EVA is a non-toxic plastic which is extremely resistant to tearing and abrasion. It also has excellent thermal insulation properties, which makes it perfect for keeping food warm or cold, depending on the desired application. EVA is also dishwasher safe and can withstand temperatures up to 60°C, making it perfect for food container lids where hot liquids may be stored.
Ice cube mold
EVA can be used to produce ice cube molds due to its water-resistant and shock-absorption properties and ability to withstand temperatures as low as -35°C without the risk of cracking or breaking. EVA is eco-friendly, non-toxic, easy to recycle, and process, making it a reliable and practical choice for the manufacturing of ice cube molds.
Mouthguard
EVA is a popular material for mouthguards because of its shock-absorbing properties. These properties help to cushion impacts and protect the teeth and gums from injury. Additionally, EVA is lightweight, flexible, and non-toxic, making it comfortable and safe to wear for extended periods of time.
