1. Foam eva (Bidh Vinysne Vinyste acetate Erylne acetate)
Feartan:
- Fine and uniform cell structure (uachdar rèidh)
- High elasticity and toughness
- Good water resistance and durability
- Can be bàs-ghearradh, cruth-teasachaidh, laminated, no clò-bhuailte easily
- Raon dùmhlachd: 30–300 kg/m³
- Ri fhaighinn ann an various colors and hardness levels
Cleachdaidhean àbhaisteach:
- Sports mats, yoga blocks, swimming belts
- Packaging inserts (high-end electronics, Innealan)
- Shoe soles, kneeling pads, dèideagan
Nithean matha: Crìochnachadh rèidh, seasmhach, gnàthaichte, neo-phuinnseanta
Cons: Slightly more expensive than EPE
2. EPE Foam (Polyethylene leudaichte)
Feartan:
- Lightweight with larger air bubbles / open cells
