EPE Foam vs. EVA Foam: What's the Difference and Which One Should You Use?

Product Info

■ EPE Foam (Expanded Polyethylene Foam)

Key Properties:
- Lightweight: EPE foam has a non-crosslinked closed-cell structure, making it highly lightweight and flexible.
- Shock Absorption: Excellent at absorbing shocks, ideal for protecting products during transportation.
- Resilience: Highly resilient and able to return to its original shape after compression.
- Eco-Friendly: EPE foam is recyclable and environmentally safe.

Applications:
- Packaging: Used as cushioning material for electronics, appliances, and furniture to prevent scratches and damage during transit.
- Thermal Insulation: Thanks to its heat-resistant properties, EPE foam is also used in construction as an insulation material.

■ EVA Foam (Ethylene Vinyl Acetate Foam)

Key Properties:
- Soft and Flexible: EVA foam offers superior softness and comfort to the touch.
- Impact Absorption: Exceptional shock absorption makes it ideal for high-protection applications.
- Durability: Resistant to chemicals and weather conditions, providing long-lasting performance.

Applications:
