What is EVA in bathing islands?
EVA stands for ethylene vinyl acetate, a closed-cell plastic foam. Bathing islands usually have an EVA deck surface, which is slip-resistant, soft, and stable. Skinhawk explicitly advertises its bathing islands with a “high-quality EVA deck” as a non-slippery surface.
What are the advantages of swim floats with EVA?
An EVA deck provides non-slip grip even when wet, greater comfort when lying or walking, and a softer surface. It also protects the inner material from abrasion and increases durability. Skinhawk describes it as “non-slip, UV-resistant, and durable.”
Is EVA safe for health?
EVA is generally considered relatively safe and not highly toxic. Studies show that volatile organic compounds (VOCs) can escape briefly but soon dissipate. When manufactured properly, without problematic additives, EVA is safe to use.
