Oznog,
The crafts industry and the manufacturers of these foams are calling
them EVA foams. They are not calling them PE foams and not EVA/PE
copolymers. They literature does not say that they are crosslinked (but
they certainly might be).

Both the Darice brand and the Creative-Hands/Fibre-Craft/CraftsEtc
brand outlined in my post are advertising their products as EVA foam

So since the industry, manufacturers, catalogs, and stores are calling
it EVA foam I hope it doesn't bother you too much if I do the same.
