About This Product

EVA (Ethylene Vinyl Acetate) granules are a flexible copolymer compound supplied in various vinyl acetate (VA) content grades, used across footwear midsoles and outsoles, foam sheet production, wire and cable insulation compounds, sports equipment, and packaging applications. Pune's industrial belt, including the Pimpri-Chinchwad and Bhosari areas, hosts an established base of EVA granule manufacturers and compounders who formulate and process EVA resin into application-specific grades. For footwear manufacturers, foam converters, and industrial buyers internationally, this means access to EVA granules with the flexibility, impact resistance, and processing consistency each application requires, backed by export documentation.

Choosing VA Content: What the Percentage Actually Changes

Lower VA Content (12-18%): Firmness and Cost Efficiency

Lower VA content grades are firmer, more rigid, and generally lower cost, suiting applications like wire and cable compound work and semi-rigid foam sheet production where some flexibility is needed but not extreme softness. This range is often the standard starting point for cost-sensitive bulk applications.

Higher VA Content (25-40%): Flexibility and Clarity

Higher VA content grades are notably softer, more flexible, and offer better clarity and low-temperature performance, which is why footwear midsole foam and premium packaging film applications typically specify this range. The tradeoff is higher raw material cost and, in some formulations, reduced heat resistance. Buyers should confirm their specific application's flexibility and clarity requirements before defaulting to a mid-range VA content that may not optimally serve either cost or performance goals.

Why Source from Pune, Maharashtra

Pune's industrial belt, particularly the Pimpri-Chinchwad and Bhosari areas, has developed a genuine base of EVA compounding and granule manufacturing operations, working from base EVA resin sourced through established petrochemical supply chains and formulating it into application-specific grades. This existing compounding infrastructure, combined with Pune's broader automotive, footwear, and industrial manufacturing ecosystem that consumes EVA granules directly, supports consistent quality control and processing expertise across the VA content range buyers need.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does VA content mean for EVA granules?

VA (vinyl acetate) content refers to the percentage of vinyl acetate in the copolymer, and it directly affects flexibility, clarity, and cost. Lower VA content (12-18%) produces firmer, more cost-effective material, while higher VA content (25-40%) produces softer, more flexible material with better clarity.

Which VA content grade should I choose for footwear midsoles?

Footwear midsole foam typically uses higher VA content grades, generally in the 25-40% range, since this delivers the flexibility and cushioning performance the application requires. Confirm your specific foam density and hardness target with your supplier before finalizing a grade.

Is Pune-manufactured EVA granule made from imported or domestic base resin?

Most Indian EVA granule manufacturers, including those in Pune, compound and formulate application-specific grades from base EVA resin sourced through established petrochemical supply chains, both domestic and imported, rather than running primary polymerization themselves. This compounding expertise is what determines the final grade's specific performance characteristics.

What is the minimum order quantity for bulk EVA granules export?

MOQ varies based on VA content grade and whether the order uses a standard formulation or custom specification. Confirm the current minimum for your specific requirement directly.

What HS code applies to EVA granule exports from India?

EVA (vinyl acetate copolymers) in primary granule form generally falls under HS code 3905.29. Confirm the exact classification with your customs broker, since specific grade and form can affect the precise code.
