XPANEX EVA Compounds (Crosslinkable EVA Foam Compounds)
XPANEX compounds are based on Ethylene Vinyl Acetate (EVA) copolymer modified with specific elastomeric materials. XPANEX EVA compounds are specifically designed for soles, mid-soles, insoles and complete shoes (shipper/sandal).
Key Characteristics of XPANEX compounds are:
Excellent resilience
Low compression set
Extremely light-weight
Available in wide range of colours
Excellent dimensional stability at elevated temperatures
Smooth surface, elastic touch, velvet skin
