Since its introduction in the 1950s, plastic wrap has mostly been made either of a plastic called polyvinylidene chloride (PVDC) or, later, of the more familiar polyvinyl chloride

Their behaviour is mimicked in plastics such as polyvinylidene fluoride, which generate an electric field when squeezed and are used to make pressure-sensitive pads for computer keyboards and other touch-triggered devices.

Designer Sang-Kyun Park has taken the illuminated umbrella idea to the next level with Lightdrops, an umbrella made from polyvinylidene fluoride [PDVF], a conductive membrane that powers LEDs with energy from falling rain.

To measure such energy, they built a rain catcher which would allow them to control the amount of water falling on top of a piezoelectric material, in this case made out of polyvinylidene fluoride.

Wrap raw meat tightly in oxygen-impermeable plastic wrap saran, or polyvinylidene chloride; polyethylene is permeable, overwrap it with foil or paper to keep it in the dark, store it in the coldest corner of the refrigerator or freezer, and use it as soon as possible.

Modern cooks can accomplish the same thing by wrapping persimmons snugly in a truly airtight plastic film, polyvinylidene chloride saran.

Avocado flesh is well known for browning rapidly once cut or mashed (p. 269), a problem that can be remedied by adding an acidic ingredient (often lime juice) or by airtight wrapping with a plastic film that blocks oxygen effectively (polyvinylidene chloride, alias saran, is far more effective than polyethylene or PVC).
