Ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) is an elastomeric polymer derived from the copolymerization of ethylene and vinyl acetate. Its weight percent of vinyl acetate usually varies between 10 and 40%, while the remainder is ethylene.

EVA has many important applications due to its elasticity, softness, low-temperature toughness, stress crack resistance, low friction coefficient properties. It also has good resistance to UV radiations. The ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer is widely used in end-use industries such as footwear and foams, packaging, agriculture, photovoltaic encapsulation and others.

The global ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) market size is estimated to be valued at US$ 1,349.71 Million in 2021 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 4.89% between 2022 and 2028.

EVA is a good choice for medical packaging and devices due to its excellent properties that make it suitable for use in various medical devices, such as trays, bags, pouches, tapes, labels and sheets. EVA also offers other advantages, such as high resilience, transparency and water vapor and gas barrier.

It is also used for the manufacture of plastic goods, especially films. Ethylene-vinyl acetate has excellent low-temperature flexibility, which is beneficial for the production of medical devices and equipment. It can be molded into complex shapes and has a flexible structure, which makes it easy to handle. EVA is also easy to sterilize.

Several Ethylene Vinyl Acetate applications can be found in the automotive industry as well. It can be used as a flexible and lightweight material for bumpers, seat cushioning, airbags, car mats, steering wheels, and door handles, among other things. EVA is often a substitute for PVC, which is less flexible at lower temperatures and more expensive. EVA does not need a plasticizer, which can cause the material to lose its flexibility.

EVA can be used to produce solar panels, which are a clean, reliable and renewable source of power. EVA can be used to form a protective and insulating film around the solar panel, which reduces the risk of damage from vibration or heat.

The global industrial adhesives market size was valued at US$ 39.44 billion in 2022 and is anticipated to witness a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.3% from 2023 to 2030.

Ethylene Vinyl Acetate can be produced from either a natural or synthetic process. Natural EVA is made from cellulose and cotton fibers, while synthetic EVA is typically produced using polyethylene or polypropylene. Ethylene vinyl acetate is produced through the free-radical emulsion polymerization of monomers such as ethylene and vinyl acetate in the presence of surfactants and an initiator.

Asian Paints invested INR 21,000 million for setting up an EVA and VAM manufacturing facility in India, in October 2022. This new facility will have an annual capacity of 100,000 tons of EVA.

Bispecific Antibodies Are Used As Therapeutic Drugs While Treating Viral Infections, Oncology, And Auto-Immune Diseases

Image
  Bispecific Antibodies Bispecific antibodies are produced through cell fusion or recombinant DNA technologies. Bispecific antibodies are much more specific than monoclonal antibodies. Their applications in tumor immunotherapy are nearly limitless. As of today, seven bispecific antibodies have been approved by the FDA and EMA and over one hundred are in preclinical testing. Bispecific antibodies were initially developed using the quadroma technology. They contain two distinct antigen-binding arms, which enable them to bind to the target antigen while also activating an effector cell, which kills tumor cells. The primary antigen on the surface of the effector cell is called CD3, which is a popular target of immune cells. According to Coherent Market insights the Bispecific Antibodies Market Global Industry Insights, Trends, Outlook, and Opportunity Analysis, 2022-2028. Many of these multi specific antibody formats have been developed over the past 30 years. These categories of a

Organic Milk Has Much Higher Concentration Of Iron, Vitamin E, And Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids Omega-3 And Omega-6 As Compared To Regular Milk

Image
  Organic Milk Organic Milk is milk made from livestock raised using organic farming practices. The use of the term "organic" is regulated by food authorities in most jurisdictions. Organic cows are not allowed to be given hormones, which stimulate milk production. Organic feed also must be grown without the use of synthetic pesticides. Organic cows must get a certain percentage of their diet from grazing, although most organic dairies supplement the grass with grain. However, organic grazing cows produce less milk than cows that eat a grain-based diet. Buying organic milk may be a better investment for your health. According to Coherent Market Insights the Organic Milk Market Global Industry Insights, Trends, Outlook, and Opportunity Analysis, 2022-2028. The standards for organic milk are stringent. To meet the organic standard, a dairy farm cannot use any form of animal growth hormones or antibiotics. Organic cows must spend at least 30% of their lives on pasture. C
