Vinylidene chloride resins can be formulated into coatings characterized by exceptional resistance to water, fuels and gases. Resistance to acids, salt solutions and mild oxidizing agents is excellent to good while alkali resistance is fair to poor. The two commercially available forms of vinylidene chloride resins are the copolymers with vinyl chloride and acrylonitrile.

Recommendations are made regarding the use of vinylidene chloride coatings in various media including several acids, alkalis, oils, oxidizing agents, salts, solvents, gases and water. These recommendations were compiled from experience reports by a number of users.

Physical properties of vinylidene chloride resins are given. Application of coatings is discussed in detail with attention given to coverage and shipping data, flammability and toxicity, surface preparation, priming and application methods. Properties of applied coatings and linings are considered with respect to temperature limitations, impact and abrasion resistance, hardness, aging, toxicity and odor, weight and electrical properties. 5.4.5
