Ethylene vinyl acetate elastomers belong to the class of specialty rubbers. The first patents on this copolymer were granted to ICI in 1938 [1]. But it took over 20 years until the polymerization process was optimized and the first products were commercially available [2]. Today, a variety of copolymers spanning a wide range of vinyl acetate contents are on the market as given in Table 10.1.
