Abstract
Properties of ethylene vinyl acetate copolymers (EVA) are determined b y the vinyl acetate (VAC) content of EVA. Very often it is necessary t o know the VAC content of the EVA rubber. The integrated TGA-FTIR-Syst em is used to analyze uncured and vulcanized EVA types with different VAG content. A sample of raw EVA is analyzed to show which results one can get with this integrated analytical system. Several EVA types wit h VAC contents in the range between 40% and 70% are analyzed to decide whether a distinction is possible.
