Industrial Process Economics Reports About Vinylidene Chloride Copolymer Vinylidene Chloride Copolymers were among the first synthetic polymers to be commercialized. Their most valuable property is low permeability to a wide range of gases and vapors. These copolymers are mostly used in food packaging to provide a good barrier to mass transport. The Intratec portfolio (www.intratec.us/our-portfolio) includes reports examining specific Vinylidene
