EVA Foam Density Classification (kg\/m\u00b3)<\/h2>\n\n<p>\nDensity determines how much material mass exists per unit volume.\nHigher-density EVA generally provides better load-bearing capacity, dimensional stability,\nand abrasion resistance, while lower-density foam prioritizes cushioning and weight reduction.\n<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"spec-grid\">\n<div class=\"spec-card\">\n<h4><i class=\"fa-solid fa-feather-pointed\"><\/i> Low Density (33\u201380 kg\/m\u00b3)<\/h4>\n<p>\nUsed for yoga mats, soft protective packaging, flotation inserts, and comfort-focused cushioning\nwhere low weight and compressibility are critical.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"spec-card\">\n<h4><i class=\"fa-solid fa-box-open\"><\/i> Medium Density (80\u2013150 kg\/m\u00b3)<\/h4>\n<p>\nThe most common range for athletic footwear midsoles, orthotic components,\nsports equipment padding, and general-purpose industrial foam parts.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"spec-card\">\n<h4><i class=\"fa-solid fa-anchor\"><\/i> High Density (150\u2013280 kg\/m\u00b3)<\/h4>\n<p>\nPreferred for marine decking, industrial gaskets, tool control foam,\nand applications requiring higher stiffness, wear resistance, and shape retention.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<h2>2.
