A film with properties such as good thermal stability, enhanced extrudability, improved oxygen barrier properties, and reduced stickiness to metal surfaces is made by the use of a vinylidene chloride composition with small amounts of a plasticizer, such as epoxidized oil or epoxidized alpha olefin, and with an acrylate or styrene polymer, such as methyl methacrylate/butyl acrylate/styrene polymer, butyl acrylate/butyl methacrylate/methyl methacrylate polymer, or poly (alpha-methylstyrene). |
