Description
E500 High-Density EVA Foam Sheets — 50–55° Shore C
The cosplay-and-costume favorite, now in fresh 3 mm stock as our largest jumbo sheets yet. E500 is the medium-firm, closed-cell rubber EVA that holds crisp detail through heat-forming and keeps its shape once it’s built into armor, helmets, and props — warehoused and shipped from Pacoima, California since 1997.
Why choose Avetco E500
- True cosplay-grade firmness. At 50–55° Shore C it cuts and heat-forms by hand, yet holds helmet curves and pauldron edges without sagging.
- Available in white and black. Clean, consistent color — prime straight over it or paint as usual.
- Big jumbo panels, fewer seams. At 47″ x 87″ (220 x 120 cm) you can cut large pieces from a single sheet.
- Consistent, inspected stock. Every container is checked on arrival — uniform thickness and density sheet to sheet.
- Real specs on request. Full manufacturer data sheet and SDS available for production and wholesale buyers.
