Why can JC EVA foam boards resist erosion from salt water and chemicals?
The marine environment causes severe damage to ship flooring. Seawater, ultraviolet rays, fuels and cleaning agents can rapidly deteriorate traditional deck materials. Choosing corrosion‑resistant flooring is critical to ensuring its long‑term performance.JC EVA foam boards are designed to address these challenges.
Impact of Seawater on Ship Hulls
Seawater contains high concentrations of salt, which accelerates material aging. When exposed to seawater for a long time, many flooring materials will develop the following problems:
- Color fading
- Case hardening
- Water absorption rate
- Cracking and peeling
In marine environments, PVC and rubber mats often turn yellow, become sticky, and lose flexibility.
Why does EVA perform better in seawater
Melors EVA foam boards are resistant to common marine chemicals, including:
- Gasoline and diesel
- Engine oil and lubricating oil
- Ship Cleaning Solution
- Weak acids and alkaline detergents
Since chemicals cannot penetrate the closed‑cell structure, the surface remains sturdy, clean and non‑slip.
