Glossary

In the cable industry, EVA stands for Ethylene Vinyl Acetate. It is a plastic that is frequently used in cables due to its special properties. EVA is a thermoplastic elastomer that has good flexibility and toughness, and is highly chemically resistant. It is particularly suitable for cable insulation and sheathing, as it is water-repellent and UV-resistant. In addition, it can also be made flame retardant if needed. EVA is usually supplied in the form of granules and can be formed into the desired shape through extrusion or injection molding.
