Evazote Foam Rolls

Advanced Seals & Gaskets Ltd have an extensive storage facility allowing us to not only stock Evazote in block form  in a range of densities and colours, but also as pre split sheets and rolls which helps with keeping lead times down.  Evazote® Foams are a closed cell cross-linked ethylene copolymer material, which look almost identical to Plastazote variants, however Evazote foam rolls are stronger and more resilient due to the EVA (ethylene vinyl acetate) added to the raw compound.

Evazote or EVA foams are produced by a copolymerization reaction between vinyl acetate and ethylene, resulting in a versatile material which can be used as an alternative to other materials such as PVC foam. As with other polyethylene foams, Evazote foams are manufactured in block form. Rolls of Evazote foam are made by joining 2 metre x 1 metre sized blocks of material into continuous lengths - usually 10 metres long .  These joined blocks are fed through our state of the art splitting machines, which can quickly and accurately produce rolls at various thicknesses starting from as little as 1.5mm,and supplied in lengths of up to 100 metres (depending on thickness), with standard rolls offered 10 metres long.

As we offer in-house conversion and lamination services, we can not only split materials down, we can also laminate layers together to produce non-standard thicknesses or composite rolls and sheets using layers of different materials, as well as being able to apply self adhesives or foil facings.  Our facilities house a number of presses, log cutters, strippers, bandsaws, CNC machines and coaters, which can be used to produce a number of Evazote foam products including gaskets, washers, strips, pads and fabrications, all of which can be cut from rolls of PE foam.

    What are Evazote Foam Rolls?

    Evazote foams  are manufactured in 2 meter long x 1 meter wide sized blocks, which are glued and butted together using heat.  These joined blocks are then fed through one of our state of the art splitters, which work by setting the blade to peel off the desired thickness of foam which is then hand rolled by the operator around core until the full length of material is ready.  These rolls can be taken in full, or cut into finished usable parts such as strips, gaskets, washers or pads.  As with other polyethylene foams, Evazote is manufactured in block or ‘bun’ form, in a range of densities and colours for use in different applications.

    This foam is manufactured under high pressure, high temperature and using Nitrogen expansion to create a high quality material with uniform cell size and is water repellent.  Evazote is a closed cell foam, manufactured using ethylene vinyl acetate, which creates a ‘rubbery/spongy’ feel. Evazote foam rolls are available in 2 grades, but at different densities, an EV and VA, the difference between the two being the proportional makeup of the ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer, EV has a higher VA content and a VA grade which has a lower VA content.

    Why use Evazote Foam Rolls?

    Evazote foam rolls can be split in different densities and colours, they are tough and flexible,  and have a closed cell structure that is impenetrable to air and moisture, meaning it will not absorb liquids or allow them to pass through, also resistant to many chemicals.   Although softer than some other plastazote and polyethylene foam rolls,  those manufactured using Evazote are more resilient and durable enabling them to absorb impact and pressure without deteriorating or tearing.

    Components cut from Evazote rolls can be found widely used within the building and construction industries where they are used to create spacers,  seals and expansion joints, they can also be used to cut one of hundreds of other products such as shoe insoles and swimming floats or boat fenders. Evazote foams are used in applications to fill gaps and irregularities between uneven surfaces, provide a solution to unwanted rattles, noise, vibrations, to seal against air, gas, dust and liquids, and can also be used to cushion between moving parts to reduce friction and damage to components and equipment.

    Evazote foam rolls can be easily be compressed, which is a requirement In order for seals and gaskets cut from them to work effectively, as they  need to compress and fill the entire space to create a pressure and air tight protective seal Evazote foams offer vibration and impact absorption, resistances to chemicals and weather/environmental influences, thermal insulation and acoustical properties and buoyancy.

    Different Grades of Evazote Foam Rolls Available

    • EV30
    • EV50
    • EV45CN -  Conductive Evazote
    • VA35

    Benefits of Using Evazote Foam Rolls

    • Lightweight & durable
    • Good impact and shock absorbing properties
    • Water repellent and buoyant
    • Excellent chemical, oils, acids, alkalis and solvent resistance
    • Good thermal insulation
    • Non-toxic and low odour

    Advantages of Using Evazote Foam Rolls

    Rolls of Evazote foams are quick and easy to produce, they are popular amongst our customers and stocked so that they can be taken in full or used inhouse to convert into finished components.  The material itself offers  users countless advantages, and is highly utilised in many industries and applications.

    Evazote foam is a man-made material, designed  to suit a range of requirements offering features such as being odourless, lightweight, buoyant, non-toxic and offer resistance to many oils, solvents, acids, alkalis, it’s closed cell surface and structure does not allow the absorption of liquids and is easy to keep clean, as well as being weatherproof and UV stable.

    Evazote foam rolls are usually the preferred choice  for the production of components which require excellent recovery from repetitive impact and compression when used for example footwear insoles, knee pads, camping mats, floor underlay, etc.  Evazote foams offer a wide functioning temperature range, maintaining its properties in temperatures as low as -70°C to as high as 100°C.  Evazote rolls can be converted into finished products such as gaskets, seals, pads or washers, which can be manufactured using processes such as splitting, pressing, die cutting, routering and log cutting, as well as being moulded into a specific profile.  The cost effectiveness, ease of machining and converting this material combined with the flexibility of being also able to buy moulded parts means Evazote foams can be taken and used in a range of applications and industries.
