Description

Saran is a thermoplastic polymer, also known as polyvinylidene chloride (PVDC). It is produced by the polymerization of vinylidene chloride monomer. Saran is known for its high gas barrier properties, making it useful for food packaging, where it helps to prevent moisture, oxygen, and other gases from entering the package and spoiling the food. It is also used in various applications, including shrink wrap, food wraps, and coatings for paper and other materials. Saran's resistance to chemicals and solvents, as well as its high tensile strength and clarity, further contribute to its versatility. The importance of Saran lies in its ability to extend the shelf life of food products, thus reducing waste and ensuring food safety. Research on Saran focuses on improving its properties, developing new applications, and finding alternative, more sustainable materials that can replace it.'
