Polyvinylidene Chloride
Polyvinylidene Chloride (PVDC) is a synthetic polymer known for its excellent barrier properties against gases, moisture, and chemicals. It is commonly used in packaging materials, especially for food products, to extend shelf life and maintain freshness. PVDC is also resistant to UV light and has good thermal stability, making it suitable for various applications.
In addition to packaging, PVDC is utilized in coatings, adhesives, and films. Its versatility allows it to be used in industries such as food packaging, pharmaceuticals, and construction. The polymer can be processed through methods like extrusion and casting, enabling the creation of different forms and products.
