EVA foam 65 kg/m3, 10 mm black - 100x50 cm

A reliable foundation for armor and prop building

This black 10 mm EVA foam is an essential construction material, specifically engineered for demanding cosplay projects and detailed LARP gear. With an optimal density of 65 kg/m3, it provides the perfect balance of structural rigidity and heat-formability. This professional-grade foam is the preferred choice for creators looking to build durable armor, shields, and large-scale props that require stability and a clean finish.

Key features

• Optimal density: The 65 kg/m3 rating ensures that the foam is stiff enough to hold its shape under stress while remaining easy to manipulate. This density is ideal for preventing unwanted deformation in complex armor pieces.
• Significant thickness: At 10 mm thick, this material is perfect for creating robust structural cores for weapons or thicker armor layers. It provides the necessary volume to achieve impressive, realistic silhouettes.
• Easy workability: This EVA foam is designed for precision, allowing for smooth cuts with sharp utility knives and clean sanding results. It reacts consistently to heat, making it simple to form into organic, curved shapes.
• Uniform color: The deep black pigmentation acts as a perfect base for paint, minimizing the visibility of any minor gaps or assembly marks. It saves time during the finishing process by reducing the number of base coats needed.
• Generous format: Each 100x50 cm sheet allows for the creation of large pattern layouts without the need for excessive seams. This helps optimize material usage and reduces waste during ambitious builds.

Where to use it

• Armor and costume construction

  The 10 mm thickness is the industry standard for creating heavy-duty chest plates, greaves, and shoulder pauldrons. Its ability to absorb impacts makes it perfect for armor worn during active conventions and performances. The material holds complex 3D shapes effectively once heat-set.

• Weapon and shield cores

  In LARP weaponry, this foam provides a stable and safe base when layered around internal fiberglass rods. It helps maintain the desired profile of swords, hammers, or axes, ensuring both safety and structural integrity during combat simulations.

• Detailed trimming and relief

  The thickness allows for deep beveling and carving, enabling the creation of intricate 3D runes, geometric patterns, or ornamental armor details. When combined with proper finishing and painting techniques, it mimics the look of authentic metal or wood perfectly.
