Shrinkage and deformation of EVA sandals after use can be attributed to several factors:
Exposure to Sunlight: While EVA is known for its temperature and chemical resistance, prolonged exposure to intense UV radiation can accelerate material aging. UV rays can break down molecular chains, causing the material to become brittle and lose elasticity, leading to peeling, degradation, and deformation of the sandals.
Improper Cleaning and Care: Washing EVA sandals with excessively hot water or using harsh mechanical washing methods can induce deformation. Although EVA tolerates warm water to some extent, extreme heat treatments can still impair its physical properties, especially with frequent or prolonged exposure.
Environmental Temperature: Storing EVA sandals in environments with extreme temperatures, whether high or low, can also alter their physical properties. Although EVA maintains decent flexibility at low temperatures, extreme conditions can still affect its performance.
Material Aging: Like all polymer materials, EVA naturally ages over time, and continued use and environmental factors can expedite this process, manifesting in shrinkage or deformation of the sandals.
To prevent shrinkage and deformation of EVA sandals, consider the following recommendations:
- Avoid extended direct sunlight exposure; store in a cool, dry place.
- Clean with lukewarm water and a soft brush, refraining from using hot water or aggressive machinery.
- Do not tumble dry; allow sandals to air dry naturally.
- Regularly inspect sandals, and replace them when signs of significant aging appear.
Proper usage and maintenance practices can significantly extend the life of EVA sandals and preserve their appearance and comfort.
