They can also be processed using conventional rubber processing techniques such as Banbury, two-roll milling and compression molding.Elvax can be used in conventional extrusion equipment designed to process polyethylene resins. However, corrosion-protected barrels, screws, adapters, and dies are recommended, since, at sustained melt temperatures above 446°F (230°C), ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) resins may thermally degrade and release corrosive by-products.FDA Status InformationElvax® 265 EVA Resin complies with Food and Drug Administration Regulation 21 05/08/2009 03:02:21 PM Copyright E.I. du Pont de Nemours and Company, Inc. 1 of 2CFR 177.1350(a)(1) - - Ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymers, subject to the limitations and requirements therein.
