Is EVA rubber foam sole non-slip and wear-resistant? What's the difference with rubber soles?

EVA rubber foam sole is slip-resistant and wear-resistant, with high resilience and tensile strength, high toughness, good impact resistance, cushioning performance, thermal insulation performance, excellent thermal insulation, cold resistance and low temperature performance, cold resistance and exposure resistance, closed-cell structure, good water absorption, moisture resistance, water resistance, corrosion resistance to chemicals such as grease, acid and alkali, antibacterial, non-toxic, tasteless and pollution-free.

The difference with rubber soles:

EVA rubber foam sole is wear-resistant, and rubber sole is not very wear-resistant; EVA rubber foam soles are usually made of closed-cell or open-cell foam materials made of natural or synthetic rubber, while rubber soles are made of natural or synthetic rubber.

Rubber foaming process:

When solid dry rubber is used to make sponge rubber, human foaming agent and other additives are usually filled in the rubber, and chemical decomposition reaction is carried out at vulcanization temperature to decompose gas. In order to make the rubber with good performance expand and foam to form microcellular rubber, the selection of foaming agent, the determination of dosage and the coordination of foaming agent are very important.

Generally speaking, foaming agents should meet the following requirements: stable to acid, alkali, light and heat during storage, good performance, odorless and non-toxic, foamed microcellular rubber free from pollution and discoloration, gas decomposition can be completed in a short time, and gas production rate can be controlled. Powdered foaming agent should be fine in particle size and evenly dispersed in the rubber compound, which does not affect the vulcanization process of rubber and has low price.
