Shoe Material
EVA foam modification: From shoe material midsole to yoga mat, manufacturers can produce soft and durable lightweight foam products. Metallocene catalyst technology can provide EVA (ethylene vinyl acetate) foam products with excellent mechanical properties and elasticity. These innovative polymer modifiers with different melt indexes and densities can be adapted to a variety of foaming processing techniques, and are lighter to wear while maintaining the performance of the shoe material.

Main advantages

  • Lightweight: lighter while maintaining similar hardness
  • Durable: Enhance product strength and tear resistance
  • Soft: Provides a soft and comfortable skin touch
  • Rebound: achieve good resilience and low compression set
  • Processability: Compatible with a variety of polyolefins, simplifying the processing flow of EVA foaming

Focus on the processing and product performance advantages brought by Egat™ plastic bodies

Excellent foaming performance: Compared with the reference modifiers, Exact™ 5061, Exact™ 5171 (left picture) and Exact™ 5101 MX (right picture) are in key characteristics (Such as compression set, surface hardness and elongation at break) show excellent performance.
