Although EVA adhesives vary in properties depending on their specific formulations, in general, they bond to the broadest range of substrates, function in one of the widest temperature range for hot melt adhesives, and, on top of everything else, are the most affordable. EVA hot melt adhesives generally require an application, or melting temperature of 350 degrees F, and have a wide viscosity range of between 900-3,000 cPs.
 

For the most part, EVA adhesives have a relatively fast set speed. However, it is important to remember that if you are using a formulation with a higher ratio of vinyl-acetate, the set time will be somewhat longer. EVA adhesives can function in temperatures as low as -40 degrees F and as high as 160 degrees F, again depending on the formulation.
