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

1. Eva (Etilen vinyl acetat)

Veçoritë:

• Fine and uniform cell structure (sipërfaqe e lëmuar)
• High elasticity and toughness
• Good water resistance and durability
• Can be i prerë, i formuar nga nxehtësia, laminated, ose të shtypura 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, mjete)
• Shoe soles, kneeling pads, lodër

Pros: Smooth finish, i fortë, i personalizueshëm, jo toksik
Cons: Slightly more expensive than EPE

2. Shkumë EPE (Polietileni i zgjeruar)

Veçoritë:

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

Typical Uses:

• Paketimi (elektronikë, xham, mobilje)
• Edge protectors, foam tubes, izolim

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

3. Shkumë sfungjeri (Polyurethane or PU Foam)

Veçoritë:

• Strukturë qelizore e hapur (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, mbushje

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