EVA resin is Polymerized by ethylene and vinyl. EVA resin is soft and rubber-like flexibility. It can still maintain a good flexibility at minus 50 degrees.It's transparence, surface smoothness and excellent chemical stability is so good. Anti-ager and ozone resistance are high strength, it's good mixing and packing, as well as easy to shape and color processing make it use in a very wide range. EVA resin production in the world reach over 100,000 t per a. In 1993, Beijing Dongfang Chemical Company introduced China's first EVA production equipment and technology from Italy, producted in February 1995,with the capacity of 40,000 tons per a . Yangzi Petrochemical 2BASF limited liability company will set up EVA production Device with the capacity of 200,000 tons per year and complete putting into production this year.

EVA foam products are mainly used for injection,film and hot melt adhesives. In 2005,China producted 518 million tons EVA,China's apparent consumption was 53 million tons, imports 4,712 tons, Domestic self-sufficiency rate was at around 20%. EVA demand for the next few years will be 818% annual growth rate in China.In 2006, It is expected to reach 560,000 tons per a demand in China. 2010 will reach 70-80 million tons.
