EVA heat-sensitive decomposition and yellowing
Problem Phenomenon
EVA processing >200°C turns yellow and brown, releasing acetic acid odor
Cause Analysis
VA groups decompose by deacetylation at high temperature >200°C; acetic acid release accelerates decomposition
Solution
1) Temperature 140-200°C; 2) Shorten high-temperature residence and increase rotation speed; 3) 0.2wt% zinc stearate to absorb acetic acid; 4) Low-VA EVA with VA<18%
Key Takeaway
EVA heat-sensitive decomposition is caused by VA deacetylation; temperature control is the fundamental countermeasure
