The invention relates to an EVA (
ethylene /
vinyl acetate) foam material and a preparation method thereof. The foaming material comprises the following components in parts by weight: 100 of EVA, 2-10 of a
foaming agent, 0.5-5 of a foaming
promoter, 0.05-1 of a bridging agent, 5-30 of a filler, 0.5-5 of a
deodorant, and 0.5-5 of a
lubricant. The preparation method includes: mixing the raw materials uniformly, then
drying the mixture in an oven at 60-80DEG C for 6-12h to obtain a dried mixture, subjecting the dried mixture to mixing injection molding to obtain an EVA sheet,
cutting the EVA sheet, then putting the
cut EVA sheet into a flat vulcanizing
machine to undergo die-filling
hot pressing, then performing automatic
pressure release, and cooling the die, thus obtaining the EVA foam material. Compared with the prior art, the
deodorant integrating absorption and reaction is adopted by the invention and added to EVA and various additives. With very good dispersibility, the
deodorant reacts with an
ammonia radical through a chelating mechanism and strongly adsorbs
ammonia so as to effectively remove the
ammonia radical and ammonia, and can destroy the formation conditions of
formamide before its formation and has no influence to the properties of production products. Thus, the EVA foam material has wide application.
