EVA resin

It is also used in the photovoltaics industry as an encapsulation material for silicon cells in the manufacture of photovoltaic modules. EVA slippers and sandals are nowadays very popular because of its properties like light weight, easy to mold, odorless, glossy finish, and cheaper compared to natural rubber.

In fishing rods, it is used to construct handles on the rod-butt end. EVA can be used as a substitute for cork in many applications.
