You might not know what the brush material is. But currently EVA foam sheet is largely used as automated car wash brush for the washing equipments in China.

Here in this article, we are going to introduce you how EVA foam brush works in car washing systems.


When you get a close check of car washing equipment and systems, you could find out hundreds of EVA foam car brushes neatly assembled on a rotatable metal shaft as a powerful washing part.



First of all, you may not know what is Shore hardness in EVA foam, do not worry, here is a quick link to get full information on Shore hardness in EVA foam sheet.


Briefly, the EVA foam is closed cell foam varying in a wide range of densities and hardness. Importantly, you should note that, the different density and hardness can make the EVA foam with a quite difference performance and property. So choosing the EVA foam sheets with proper performance for your car washing equipment seems to be very important.


You can see, the brush is a very important part of automatic car washing equipment system. It is apparently simple to know that brush is the essential part used to clean up car or other vehicles. As the automated washing brush, EVA foam is needed to be wear-resisting and highly durable which are rotated vertically or horizontally to thoroughly wash car or other vehicles.


Currently, the car washing equipment company mainly use EVA foam brushes, traditional plastic bristle brushes, Among them, due to the advantages on both performance and costing, the EVA foam has been more and more frequently used for the automated car wash brushes.

  • Why EVA foam can be popular for the automated car wash system?

Based on EVA foam’s properties, we would like to explain why EVA foam brush is a good choice for your car washing systems.


  • Water Resistant

As mentioned above, EVA foam material is a closed cell plastic material with low water absorption. They are naturally waterproof material because of their closed foam structure.


Working as automated car wash brushes, waterproof EVA foam sheet can largely save water used for cleaning. Their cleaning performance is not affected by water flow when operation. Besides, EVA foam car washing brushes also do not hold dirt when working on vehicles.


  • Chemical Resistant

Because of the closed foam structure, the EVA foam has excellent performance on solvent resistance. You can easily know that when your car is served at a car washing station. Relevant detergents should be used to facilitate this process. EVA foam sheets are good at working with washing chemicals. They will be affected by all sorts of detergents and keep excellent washing power.


However when using the textile wash brush, you will clearly find out that they will inevitably absorb and keep water on itself. So sometimes, you can see the textile cloth brush could not clean up thoroughly and leave some dirty spot on the cars.



  • Abrasion Resistant


The car washing brush is an import automated car washing system accessory, which is used every day for car washing. In actual operation, the EVA foam brushes will be rotating along with washing machine to remove dirt on vehicles. This process is a constant process which can abrade brushes every time with strong impact force. So the EVA foam brushes have to be highly resistant to that daily abrasion.


When working, The EVA foam brushes would go through almost every aspect of car body, windshield other wheels etc. But the underlying fact is regular EVA foam cannot withstand such suffering process in the long time. Only specialized EVA foam brush can make this, and perform well also in long term run.


Specialized EVA foam can be with excellent tensile strength and elongation performance. Those properties are needed to a nice car washing brushes.


  • Soft and Cushioning

With flexible and adjustable hardness or density, the EVA foam can be formulated to be soft and resilient. It is a quite versatile foam material with good impact absorption ability.


The car washing is needed to be very careful as any harsh operation might cause problem for customer's car. As a car washing brush, it cannot be made by a hard or rigid material. Soft EVA foam brush can deliver a reliable, safe and gentle service for vehicles. They are resilient and cushioning, which can provide a consistent shockproof performance.


Additionally, when working on the tunnel car washing systems, automated car washing brushes will be stretched by rotating shaft at a constant and high speed. Soft and resilient EVA foam is ideally able to sustain this process.


  • Various Colors, Sizes, and Shapes

We believe people want to see more colorful things not just a black or white. The EVA foam can be flexibly made in various custom colors. They are naturally colorful, and are available in a lot of color ranges including red, yellow, blue, orange, green, gray and so much more.


With automated car wash brush, your car washing equipment can be colorfully decorated. It is refreshing for both your marketing work and attractive to your customers.

Automatic tunnel car washing systems is a complicated integration which are designed to wash almost every part of the vehicle. With this advantage, the EVA foam are made into various car wash brushed with different sizes and shapes. They can function and work for cleaning of different part of a car.
