A vinylidene chloride polymer composition comprises (1) a vinylidene chloride polymer wherein the major component is a vinylidene chloride monomer and the remainder is one or more monoethylenically unsaturated monomer copolymerizable with the vinylidene chloride monomer, (2) a glycerol ester, (3) a silicone polymer or a polyolefin and, optionally, (4) an epoxidized processing aid. The vinylidene chloride composition can be fabricated into flexible and rigid containers, both in monolayer and multilayer structures for use in the preservation of food, drink medicine and other perishables. |
