Dichloroethene, Vinylidene chloride, VDC

VDC is used for the production of poly(vinyliden chloride), PVDC and its copolymers with vinylchloride, acetonitrile, methacrylonitrile, and methacrylate. These materials are used as barrier materials in the food packaging industry, for coatings on different substrates or for shrinking foils. 

Production, properties and applications of poly(vinylidene chloride) are described in [364],
