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

1. EVA aparra (Etilenozko binilo azetatoa)

Ezaugarriak:

• Fine and uniform cell structure (smooth surface)
• High elasticity and toughness
• Good water resistance and durability
• Can be die-cut, heat-formed, laminated, edo inprimatuta easily
• Density range: 30–300 kg/m³
• Available in 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, iraunkor, customizable, non-toxic
Cons: Slightly more expensive than EPE

2. EPE aparra (Expanded Polyethylene)

Ezaugarriak:

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

Typical Uses:

• Enbalajea (electronics, glass, altzariak)
• Edge protectors, foam tubes, isolamendu

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

3. Belaki Aparra (Polyurethane or PU Foam)

Ezaugarriak:

• Zelula irekiko egitura (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, betegarria

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