The process for producing EVA is largely similar to that of producing LDPE (low-density polyethylene). However, the properties and applications can vary significantly depending on the proportion of copolymerized vinyl acetate.

• Vinyl acetate content up to 7%: Primarily used to improve material properties, especially increasing the elongation at break for films. About half of EVA production is focused on this application.
• Vinyl acetate content between 7% and 18%: Often used as the sole material for specialized applications.

Examples include cold-resistant retractable spouts for canisters, films for agriculture and horticulture, sealing films (for office supplies, solar modules), shower curtains, flooring, roofing membranes, and electrical cables. The next class of EVA, with up to 28% vinyl acetate, is primarily used as a hot-melt adhesive, which is applied in high-quality tufted carpets, needle-felt fabrics for fiber bonding, and in bookbinding.

When the vinyl acetate content exceeds 30% up to 90%, a rubber-like elastomer is formed. This elastomer is mainly used for shoe soles or as a polyblend combined with other elastomers. ^{Source:Wikipedia}
