Vinylidene Chloride is a colorless, flammable liquid with a sweet odor. It is primarily used in the production of polymers, particularly in the manufacture of polyvinylidene chloride, which is known for its excellent barrier properties against moisture and gases. This makes it valuable in packaging applications, especially for food products. The compound is produced through the dehydrochlorination of 1,1,2-trichloroethane or by the thermal decomposition of vinyl chloride. Due to its chemical properties, Vinylidene Chloride is also used in the synthesis of various copolymers, enhancing the performance of materials in diverse industrial applications.
