EVA — Ethylene Vinyl Acetate for Bangladesh's footwear, foam and adhesive industries, sourced from trusted international producers.
EVA is a copolymer of ethylene and vinyl acetate, and almost everything about it is governed by one number: the VA content. Raise the VA and the material gets softer, clearer and stickier; lower it and EVA behaves more like polyethylene. In Bangladesh its largest use is foam for footwear.
Dunhill Corporation Ltd. sources EVA for footwear and foam producers, adhesive manufacturers and film converters across Bangladesh — matching the right VA content and melt index to your process, then handling the import from order to delivery.

EVA by Application
EVA is specified by VA content and melt index. VA content sets the character of the material; melt index sets how it flows. These are the four routes we supply for.
Typical EVA Grade Selection
Indicative ranges to help you shortlist. Exact melt flow index and density vary by producer, so send us your product and we will confirm the grade.
| Application | VA Content | Typical MI | Products |
|---|---|---|---|
| Foam & Footwear | 14 – 22% | 2 – 6 g/10 min (190°C / 2.16 kg) |
Midsoles, sandals, slippers, EVA foam sheet, mats |
| Hot Melt Adhesive | 18 – 33% | 150 – 800 g/10 min (190°C / 2.16 kg) |
Carton sealing, bookbinding, footwear and packaging adhesives |
| Film & Blending | 5 – 12% | 0.5 – 3 g/10 min (190°C / 2.16 kg) |
Agricultural and greenhouse film, laminate layers, LDPE blends |
| Solar Encapsulant | 28 – 33% | 15 – 30 g/10 min (190°C / 2.16 kg) |
Encapsulant film for photovoltaic module assembly |
| Wire & Cable | 12 – 19% | 1 – 5 g/10 min (190°C / 2.16 kg) |
Flexible cable compounds, semi-conductive layers |

Key Properties of EVA
- VA Content Sets EverythingHigher VA means softer, clearer and more adhesive material. Lower VA behaves closer to polyethylene. Specify VA first, melt index second.
- Soft & ResilientFlexible without plasticizer, and it stays flexible in cold conditions — the reason EVA foam feels comfortable underfoot and does not go brittle.
- Foams & Crosslinks WellTakes blowing agents and crosslinkers reliably, giving a fine, even closed cell structure — which is what makes a light, springy midsole.
- Good AdhesionThe vinyl acetate group is polar, so EVA bonds to substrates polyethylene cannot — the basis of hot melt adhesives and solar encapsulant film.
- Clear & GlossyClarity and surface gloss improve as VA content rises, which matters for laminate film and encapsulant applications.
