Genuine Evazote foam stands out for its superior softness, toughness, and resilience compared to Plastazote. As a highly durable, closed-cell, cross-linked ethylene copolymer foam, Evazote is available in two main grades: EV and VA. The difference between these grades lies in the proportional makeup of the ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer.
Evazote foam is renowned for its excellent softness, making it ideal for applications involving physical contact, such as sports and leisure. Even at lower densities, Evazote provides a unique, high-quality feel. It is also tougher than Plastazote, offering enhanced durability to absorb impact and pressure without tearing or deteriorating. Additionally, Evazote boasts excellent resistance to various chemicals and harsh environments, making it suitable for demanding applications.

Resilience and Versatility
Evazote foam’s superior toughness makes it highly resistant to abrasion and deterioration. It can withstand constant use without fear of warping or tearing. Evazote is also resistant to many common oils and chemicals, as well as UV radiation and salt damage, making it suitable for both interior and exterior environments.
The material features a wide functioning temperature range, maintaining its useful properties from -70°C to 100°C. This versatility allows Evazote to be used in nearly any environment with ease.
Grades of Evazote
EV Grade: Higher ethylene vinyl acetate (VA) content
Example: 50 kg/m³ density with 18% ethylene vinyl acetate
VA Grade: Lower ethylene vinyl acetate (VA) content
Example: 25 kg/m³ density with 9% ethylene vinyl acetate
Genuine Quality Assurance
It’s important to note that these properties are unique to genuine Evazote foam. Cheaper, imitation materials may look similar but cannot match the quality of genuine Evazote. At R4 Gaskets, we only supply the highest quality materials to ensure you get the best product possible.
