EVA Polyethylene Foam Strip

Advanced Seals & Gaskets Ltd are amongst the leading UK manufacturers of EVA foam strip.  A combination of extensive storage facilities and a network of reputable material manufacturers and suppliers, enables us to offer strips cut using many grades, densities and colours of Polyethylene (PE) foam, one of which includes Expanded Closed Cell  Cross Linked EVA Polyethylene foam.  EVA Polyethylene or ‘EVA block foam’ as it is sometimes referred to as a cross linked material which look virtually identical to standard Polyethylene, however these EVA foams are stronger and more resilient due to the EV OR ethylene vinyl acetate content.    EVA Polyethylene foam is produced by a copolymerization reaction between vinyl acetate and ethylene, resulting in a versatile material which can be used as an alternative to other materials such as PVC and Polyurethane foams.

EVA Polyethylene is  manufactured and stocked in block or ‘bun’ form from which can be split down into sheets of various thicknesses starting from as little as 1.5mm,  or rolls - made by joining blocks of material together prior to splitting them, both of which can be used to further convert into cut strips in lengths of up to 100 meters.   EVA PE foam strips,  gasket tapes or sealing strips or foam tapes as they are commonly know, are all made to order, manufactured using state of the art machinery including band saws, strippers, log cutters and even presses depending upon the size and quantity required - for very small strips in high volume runs, a kiss-cut option may also be available for faster production and time efficiency for the end user.  In-house production allows us to closely oversee the whole production process to ensure that we consistently produce high quality, competitively priced Evazote strips  Our on-site laminating service enables us to supply EVA PE foam strips in choice of finishes including plain or coated on one of both faces with a range of self-adhesives, foils or even laminated to other materials.
