PVDC
Polyvinylidene Chloride (Abbreviation: PVDC) is a homopolymer of vinylidene chloride. It is a remarkable barrier against water, oxygen and aromas. It has a superior chemical resistance to alkalies and acids, is insoluble in oil and organic solvents, has very low moisture regain and is impervious to mold, bacteria, and insects. But it is soluble in polar solvents.

Market perspective
Polyvinylidene Chloride (Abbreviation: PVDC) is a homopolymer of vinylidene chloride. It is a remarkable barrier against water, oxygen and aromas. It has a superior chemical resistance to alkalies and acids, is insoluble in oil and organic solvents, has very low moisture regain and is impervious to mold, bacteria, and insects. But it is soluble in polar solvents.
Currently, there are several producing companies in the world PVDC industry. The main players are SK (Dow), Kureha, Solvay, Asahi Kasei and Juhua Group, with about 78% market shares.
In consumption market, USA and China are the mainly consumption regions due to the bigger demand of downstream applications. These two regions occupied 60% of the global consumption volume in total.
Read the full market overview
PVDC has two forms, which include PVDC resins and PVDC latex. And each type has different applications relatively with different properties.
Report Scope
