Hey there! As a supplier of Soft EVA Luggage, I often get asked about the water - repellency level of our products. So, I thought I'd write this blog to give you all the lowdown on it.
First off, let's understand what Soft EVA Luggage is. EVA stands for ethylene - vinyl acetate, which is a type of plastic. Soft EVA Luggage is made from this material, and it's known for being lightweight, flexible, and durable. You can check out our range of Soft EVA Luggage on our website.
Now, onto the water - repellency. Water - repellency is all about how well a material can resist water. It's not the same as waterproof, though. Waterproof means that no water can get through at all, while water - repellent means that water is less likely to penetrate the material.
Our Soft EVA Luggage has a pretty good water - repellency level. The EVA material itself has some natural water - resistant properties. The molecular structure of EVA makes it difficult for water to seep through. When water hits the surface of the luggage, it tends to bead up and roll off, rather than soaking in.
But how did we test this? Well, we've conducted a series of tests in our lab. We sprayed water on the luggage at different angles and pressures to simulate real - world conditions. For example, we mimicked a heavy downpour by using a high - pressure water sprayer. We also tested how the luggage would fare in a light drizzle.
In the heavy downpour test, we found that after 10 minutes of continuous spraying, only a very small amount of water managed to get inside the luggage. And this was mainly through the zippers and seams. The body of the luggage itself held up really well. In the light drizzle test, there was almost no water penetration at all.


However, it's important to note that the water - repellency can be affected by a few factors. One of the main factors is the quality of the seams and zippers. Even though the EVA material is water - repellent, if the seams are not properly sealed or the zippers are not of high quality, water can find its way in. That's why we use high - quality zippers and make sure that the seams are well - sealed during the manufacturing process.
Another factor is wear and tear. Over time, the surface of the luggage can get scratched or damaged. These scratches can compromise the water - repellency of the EVA material. But don't worry, our Soft EVA Luggage is designed to be quite durable, and with proper care, it can maintain its water - repellency for a long time.
So, what can you do to keep the water - repellency in top shape? First of all, avoid dragging your luggage across rough surfaces. This can cause scratches. Also, clean your luggage regularly. Use a mild soap and water to clean the surface. This will not only keep it looking good but also help maintain the water - repellent properties.
If you're planning to travel in really wet conditions, you might want to take some extra precautions. You can use a waterproof cover for your luggage. This will add an extra layer of protection against the water.
Now, I know you might be thinking, "This all sounds great, but how does it compare to other types of luggage?" Well, compared to fabric luggage, our Soft EVA Luggage has a much higher water - repellency level. Fabric luggage can easily absorb water, especially if it's not treated with a water - repellent coating. And even then, the coating can wear off over time.
In contrast, the water - repellent properties of our EVA Luggage are more long - lasting. It's also more resistant to mold and mildew, which can be a problem with fabric luggage that gets wet.
If you're in the market for a new piece of luggage, and you're worried about keeping your belongings dry, our Soft EVA Luggage is a great choice. It offers a good balance between water - repellency, durability, and lightweight design.
We're always looking to improve our products, and we're constantly researching new ways to enhance the water - repellency of our Soft EVA Luggage. Whether it's through better materials or improved manufacturing techniques, we're committed to providing you with the best possible luggage.
