Vinyl chloride copolymer resins offer unique application advantage is mainly solvent based coatings for aluminium packaging. The main properties of Vinyl-Chloride copolymers are:
- Thermoplastic
- Heat sealable
- High chemical resistance (alcohol, fat, oil, water, acid, alkali)
- Abrasion resistancy
- Light resistance upon proper stabilization.
- Dry coatings and inks are free from odor and taste
- Coatings are physiologically harmless
- Strong adhesion on metals
- Excellent pigment wetting
- Crosslinkability

There are mainly 2 groups. One has to choose for:
- Heatsealable lacquers and Protective coatings
- High adhesion
- High seal bond strength
- High water and alcohol resistance
- High corrosion resistance.
- Printing inks & Primers
- High gloss
- Superior Color development
- Optimal transparancy
- Good overprintability
- Low gel content
