Ethylene Co-terpolymers (EVA, EMA)

Ethylene co-terpolymers, including ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) and ethylene methyl acrylate (EMA), appear as granular solids or dispersions and function by modifying polymer matrices to improve elasticity, toughness, and water resistance. EVA and EMA-based coatings exhibit excellent film-forming properties, ensuring uniform application and durability. They are suitable for architectural, industrial, and packaging coatings. 

As the industry moves toward more sustainable solutions, bio-based and high-solid EVA and EMA variants are gaining traction to reduce VOC content while maintaining performance. Sub-types include high and low VA-content EVA. Similarly, EMA grades vary in methyl acrylate content, influencing adhesion and flexibility. Compliance with REACH and EPA guidelines ensures these co-terpolymers align with environmental and safety standards.
