About Our EVA Material
At Pierce Plastics, we believe in pairing modern design with medical-grade protection — that’s why we’ve chosen EVA (Ethylene Vinyl Acetate) as our core material for protective chair covers.
EVA (Ethylene Vinyl Acetate) is a soft, flexible plastic material that feels like a cross between rubber and vinyl. It’s used in everything from baby products to yoga mats — and now, in our custom chair covers designed specifically for medical and aesthetic professionals.
Unlike traditional plastics, EVA is:
Non-toxic
Chlorine-free
Odorless
Phthalate-free
It’s made to protect both your clients and your equipment.
Why EVA is the Superior Choice
We chose EVA over other plastics like PVC or polyurethane for a reason — actually, several:
1. Skin-Safe & Hypoallergenic
EVA is free from phthalates and harsh chemicals, making it ideal for repeated skin contact in a spa or medical setting.
2. Ultra-Flexible
It conforms smoothly to the curves and contours of your treatment chair without cracking or tearing — even under pressure.
3. Chemical Resistant
EVA stands up to disinfectants, alcohol, and bleach-based cleaners — crucial for today's sanitation standards.
4. No Yellowing Over Time
With built-in UV stability, EVA maintains its clarity far longer than standard PVC.
5. Eco-Conscious
EVA is more environmentally responsible than many plastics — it doesn’t contain chlorine and breaks down more cleanly over time.
FAQs
Is EVA safe for my clients’ skin?
Yes — EVA is hypoallergenic, non-toxic, and free from harmful chemicals, making it safe for all skin types, including sensitive patients.
Does EVA have a strong odor like vinyl or PVC?
Not at all. EVA is odorless and won't emit any chemical smells in your treatment space.
Can I clean it with disinfectants?
Absolutely. Our EVA covers are designed to handle regular cleaning with alcohol, bleach, and hospital-grade disinfectants without degrading.
Is EVA more expensive?
While EVA has a slightly higher production cost, it delivers a longer-lasting, safer, and more luxurious experience — which ultimately saves you money on replacements and elevates your service offering.
Will it crack or harden over time like other plastics?
No — EVA is highly flexible and resistant to brittleness, even in colder climates or with long-term use.
