Hi everybody, i am peter shin from China. I have been in EVA FILM industry for decades. As many
glass related workers still not believe in EVA FILM, they don’t believe that EVA FILM can replace
PVB FILM in many fields.
In the same time, EVA FILM has many advantages than PVB FILM.
So i think it’s my job to spread EVA FILM knowledge to more people.
Welcome to join our group in yahoo.com, even though you are not in PVB , EVA FILM industry.
Only if you are in glass industry, please join in us and discuss with us .
If you want to learn more, go to our EVA FILMS’ INFO blog.
If you are a totally new about EVA FILM, please go to wikipedia. to learn the basic knowledge of
EVA FILM.
EVA film:
EVA stands for ethylene vinyl acetate, a copolymer resin used in the production of laminated
glass as the interlayer sandwiched between two pieces of glass. The main function of the
interlayer is to hold the two piece of glass together, thus making them safer and more secure.
EVA film is translucent and has a light pattern on the surface before heating. After heating, it
becomes completely transparent, offering good visibility. In the production of laminated glass
with EVA interlayer, no autoclave, roller press, air bag, or vacuum rubber ring is required. As EVA
interlayer can be handled under normal climatic conditions, no clean room with climatic control
is required.
EVA Film is made out of macromolecule material and it performs excellent in bonding strength,
heat resistance, cold resistance, humidity resistance and tensile strength in laminated. It has
been partly taking the places of PVB film in laminated safety glass, laminated art glass, laminated
color glass.
Based on the UV Blocked rate, the EVA FILM can divided into :
0.25 mm
0.38mm
0.76mm
But some companies produce the same thickness with the Japan’s common standard:
0.4mm
0.8mm
Also, the EVA FILM manufacturer can customize the thickness for you, but for this customizing,
the added cost would be very low, some EVA FILM manufacturer may not charge for it.
If you have different views, please communicate with me in the comments. You are warmly
welcome.
Maybe you have already faced the following problems of EVA FILM,
-Gluing of EVA,
- Mosquitoes
- Black spots
- Holes on EVA FILM
-for colorful EVA FILM, the color is not even.
- Knocked marks

- Yellowing of EVA and etc. …
Gluing of EVA
Which means the two layer of EVA FILM stick together, three reasons can cause it:
(1) The EVA FILM is ultra-transparent film; they are easy to show adhesives. In this situation,
put membranes between the two layers of EVA FILM.
(2) The temperature is too high, like the temperature in the container is too high (maybe over 65
degree), which will lead the EVA FILM to melt, and stick together.
(3) The film is to0 tight when was produced, this is factory’s problem, they should loosen the EVA
FILM when they are circle to be a roll.
Mosquitoes
This is about the environment of EVA FILM factory; they should kill pests in workshop, and avoid
other mosquitoes to come in.
Black Spots
This is also about producing procedure in EVA FILM factory, the workers should wear gloves or
wash hands often, to make sure when they touch the EVA FILM, and their hands are clean.
For colorful EVA FILM, the color is not even
It’s about the procuring procedure of EVA FILM; maybe the procedure of mixing the colorant is
not good enough.
Knocked marks
This is caused in the transportation. The carrier is not carefully or the EVA FILM is not packaged
by wooden boxes.
Yellowing of EVA
It’s about the formula of EVA FILM, which means the quality of the EVA FILM. So you buy little
trial order before you make big quantity order.
1.) Activate vacuum pump for 2-3min till the vacuum value reach 0.095Mpa, then start heating.
2.)The temperatures and times for processing based on 1Pc 5mm Glass +1Layer EVA Film + 1Pc
5mm Glass
3.)For thicker glass or more layers of EVA Film, the heat-holding-time should be longer, please
check with “The Processing Parameter of Different Glass Thickness and EVA Film Layers” or
consult us.

1.) The plainness of the glass is poor (especially the tempered glass). Make sure the inserted film
is thicker than the deformation scale of the two overlapping glasses.
2.) The film has not completely melted. Please raise the temperature or increase the time of
heat-holding!
3.) Stop the vacuum pump two early. Don’t stop the vacuum pump until the temperature bellows
50℃.
4.) The Silicon Bag is leaking. Please replace the Silicon Bag to unsure that the vacuum value
reaches 0.095Mpa.
Attention
Please fully confirm the corrosive and permeability of the edge sealing reagent and glass glue
before using, for those may lead to films breaking away from glasses!
When some customers processing laminated glass, bubbles appear inside the glass is the big
problem they have to face.
People always think is this way:
1. the EVA Film you sent to us last time, don’t have bubbles problem, why this time the bubbles
is coming out, that’s definitely the reason of the quality of your EVA Film.
2. Some customers face this situation. Maybe they don’t use EVA Film very much, so they don’t
finish the one roll of EVA FILM in a short period. They used two thirds of the roll of EVA film, and
after several weeks, they go back to use the left part of the roll. But this time the bubbles coming
out, they are very confused. How come the same roll has different quality?
3. Some customer may just change the new EVA FILM supplier and the bubbles comes out.Even
their new supplyer tell them it’s all about the processing , they would not believe him, they
would think it’s of course the problem of the quality of your EVA film, because my older supplier
don’t have this bubbles problem.
Many Laminated glass producer have misconception of the reasons of the bubbles problems.
Here is the real why:
1. First situation: the temperature is too high, maybe more than 180 degree, which will cause
the compound to break down and create gas. In this way, it’s just reducing your temperature, and
everything would just be fine.
2. Second situation: the temperature in the oven is not average, which means some part of the
glass, is hotter than others. So some part of the EVA film will melt and finish the crosslink
reaction while other parts of EVA Film is still no t melted, which will interrupt the vacuuming and
cause the bubbles. For this situation, we suggest you use the wind blowing heating machine.
3. Third situation: the Vacuum machine is old or the vacuum ability is not good enough. If the

vacuum machine is old, renew it. If the vacuum ability is not powerful enough try to buy a new
one.
4. Four situation: the air moisture is high. Much moisture in the air in your place is changed,
which will easily cause the EVA film wet when it expose in the air. Moisture in the EVA FILM
would cause the bubbles. Although the EVA FILM is less sensitive to moisture compared with PVB
FILM. But if the moisture is too high, the bubbles will also come out.
Some customer open the packaged of one roll, and don’t use it up at one time. And the left part
of the EVA film will absorb the moisture in the air and cause the bubbles.
5. Five Situation: Different EVA FILM supplier has different formula for EVA FILM, so if you
change the EVA FILM supplier, you need to adjusting the processing parameters according to the
supplier’s EVA FILM property.
To be continued.
