What is the type of plastic used in the eclipse dura

I know the top is EVA - is the white bottom HDPE? And is the inside foam core EPS?

Thank you

The material on the bottom is HDPE High Density Polyethylene I have been successful with using 5 minute epoxy. The bond between the epoxy and the HDPE is not great but is effective. I was recently made aware of a new two part glue called TAP adhesive. I have not tested the TAP but I plan on testing it this week. I will come back to the forum to give my test results later in the week. Her is the link to TAP adhesive-
