EVA melt temp

conntaxman

Im trying to use the EVA on the solar panel and I thought the melting point was 145 deg F. I built a type of box that would be used as a small oven were I can put a vacuum bag with the solar panel in it. I got the oven to 145 or 150 degrees F and pulled a vacuum of 13 inch on the gauge ,left it their for about 30 min. and let it cool then took it out and I seemed that the EVA didn't melt or stick to anything. Kind of felt the same as before I heated it.
any help would be nice, and what tem dose this stuff melt at.

Re: EVA melt temp

You probably need to put a scrap piece in a small oven and slowly increase the temperature until you get the properties you need.

Typical solar panels are rated to something like 85C / 185F... So I would guess you will needed 100C or more.
