Abstract
Ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA) copolymers are used extensively in the wire and cable industry for making heat shrinkable insulation, semi-conductive insulation jackets, and flame retardant insulation. A general review of EVA copolymers is given. The following items are reviewed: EVA copolymer development, methods of manufacture, fundamental structural attributes, typical properties, processing and applications.<>
