The functional versatility of EVA foam is unmatched in the polymer foam family. It can be engineered to be exceptionally soft and compliant for comfort applications or firm and rigid for structural support. Its acoustic damping properties make it useful for noise control applications, while its thermal insulation properties are beneficial in packaging and construction. The material is also known for its good friction coefficient, providing non-slip characteristics in many applications. In the luggage and case goods industry, EVA foam is injection-molded or sheet-formed to create lightweight, yet highly protective, hard-shell suitcases and protective cases for equipment. Its ability to be textured and colored allows for stylish and functional designs. For the marine industry, besides decking, it is used for dock bumpers and fenders, protecting boats and docks from impact damage. Its buoyancy and water resistance are critical here. The medical field utilizes soft, skin-contact friendly EVA foam for positioning pads in physical therapy, wheelchair seat cushions, and other patient care applications where pressure redistribution and comfort are paramount. In industrial design, EVA foam is used for prototyping and as a lightweight filler material.
