EVA can be processed by many different methods, such as injection molding, extrusion molding, blow molding, calendering and foaming. It is principally used in the production of packaging material, agricultural film, injection-molded products, cable material, foamed plastics, master batch carriers, blending toughening material and damping soundproof material. It can also be used in the production of hot melt adhesive, carpet backing, wax-based coatings and shoe soles. Through hollow molding, EVA can be used for making expandable hoses, micro-irrigation tubes and other types of flexible hoses.
