Processing technology and three major modification methods for EVA material were introduced as blending modification, graft modification and cross-linking modification. The applications of the modified EVA were also reviewed in the aspects of flame retardant, conductive, foaming, solar film, hot melt, packaging film and other fields. The improvement of processing technology and its application in the field of non-slip transportation packaging of EVA in future were prospected through analyzing the shortcomings currently existed in modification technology and the limitation of the application scope.
