What is the difference between EVA foam, EPE foam, and sponge foam

1. Эва пена (Этыленвінілацэтат)

Рысы:

• Fine and uniform cell structure (smooth surface)
• High elasticity and toughness
• Good water resistance and durability
• Can be высечка, цеплавой формы, laminated, або надрукаваны easily
• Density range: 30–300 kg/m³
• Даступна ў various colors and hardness levels

Typical Uses:

• Sports mats, yoga blocks, swimming belts
• Packaging inserts (high-end electronics, tools)
• Shoe soles, kneeling pads, toys

Pros: Smooth finish, трывалы, customizable, нетоксичны
Cons: Slightly more expensive than EPE

2. Пена EPE (Пашыраны поліэтылен)

Рысы:

• Lightweight with larger air bubbles / open cells
• Soft and flexible, excellent амартызацыя
• Water and chemical resistant
• Density range: 15–50 kg/m³

Typical Uses:

• Ўпакоўка (электроніка, glass, мэбля)
• Edge protectors, foam tubes, ізаляцыя

Pros: Low cost, good cushioning, reusable
Cons: Rougher surface, less firm than EVA, not suitable for precision cutting

3. Губка пена (Polyurethane or PU Foam)

Рысы:

• Open-cell structure (soft and breathable)
• Very compressible and comfortable
• Absorbs water easily
• Density range: 10–60 kg/m³

Typical Uses:

• Seat cushions, sound absorption, cosmetic sponges
• Cleaning products, gaskets, абіўка

Pros: Very soft, comfortable, low cost
Cons: Absorbs water, poor durability outdoors, not suitable for heavy loads
