Saran Wrap : ウィキペディア英語版
Saran (plastic)
Saran is the trade name for a number of polymers made from vinylidene chloride (especially polyvinylidene chloride or PVDC), along with other monomers. Since its accidental discovery in 1933, Saran has been used for a number of commercial and industrial products. When formed into a thin plastic film, the principal advantage of Saran, when compared to other plastics, is its very low permeability to water vapor, flavor and aroma molecules, and oxygen. This oxygen barrier retards food spoilage, while the film barrier to flavor and aroma molecules helps food retain its flavor and aroma.
==History==

Polyvinylidene chloride (PVdC) was discovered at Dow Chemical Company (Michigan, USA) in 1933 when a lab worker, Ralph Wiley, was having trouble washing beakers used in his process of developing a dry-cleaning product. It was initially developed into a spray that was used on US fighter planes and, later, automobile upholstery, to protect them from the elements. Dow Chemical later named the product Saran, and eliminated its green hue and offensive odor.
In 1942, fused layers of original-specification Saran or PVDC were used to make woven mesh ventilating insoles for newly developed jungle or tropical combat boots made of rubber and canvas.〔Risch, Erna, ''The Quartermaster Corps'', Washington, D.C.: Office of the Chief of Military History, Dept. of the Army (1953), pp. 108-109〕〔Kearny, Cresson H. (Maj), ''Jungle Snafus...And Remedies'', Oregon Institute of Science and Medicine (1996), pp. 179-183〕〔''Report on Orinoco-Casiquiare-Negro Waterway: Venezuela-Colombia-Brazil, Volume 4, Washington, D.C.: U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, U.S. Office of Inter-American Affairs (July 1943)〕 These insoles were tested by experimental Army units in jungle exercises in Panama, Venezuela, and other countries, where they were found to increase the flow of dry outside air to the insole and base of the foot, reducing blisters and tropical ulcers.〔〔 The Saran ventilating mesh insole was later adopted by the United States Army for standard issue in its M-1945 and M-1966 Jungle Boots.〔〔 In 1943, John Reilly (Ralph Wiley's boss)〔https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=110&dat=19940305&id=pDRQAAAAIBAJ&sjid=yFUDAAAAIBAJ&pg=4910,5139514〕 and Ralph Wiley of The Dow Chemical Co. completed the final work needed for introduction of Saran (polyvinylidene chloride), which had been invented in 1939.〔http://brevets-patents.ic.gc.ca/opic-cipo/cpd/eng/patent/385753/summary.html〕 Saran monofilaments were also extruded for the first time.〔http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_hb6619/is_n5_v48/ai_n28613402/〕 The word "Saran" was coined by a combination of John Reilly's wife's and daughter's names, Sarah and Ann Reilly.〔http://www.funtrivia.com/askft/Question14824.html〕
In 1949, Dow introduced ''Saran Wrap'', a thin, clingy plastic wrap that was sold in rolls and used primarily for wrapping food. It quickly became popular for preserving food items stored in the refrigerator. ''Saran Wrap'' was later acquired by S. C. Johnson & Son. However, today's ''Saran Wrap'' is no longer composed of PVDC, supposedly due to environmental concerns with halogenated materials, and is now made from ordinary polyethylene.〔(Saran Frequently Asked Questions ), What ingredients are in Saran Plastic Wraps?〕 However, polyethylene has a higher oxygen permeability, which in turn affects food spoilage prevention. For example, at 23 °C and 95% relative humidity polyvinylidene chloride has an oxygen permeability of 0.6 cm3 μm m−2 d−1 kPa−1 while low-density polyethylene under the same conditions has an oxygen permeability of 2000 cm3 μm m−2 d−1 kPa−1.〔http://www.e-fost.org/learnpath/index.php/lp/en/lp2_content/SCI-A-3-2-4〕
After the end of the Vietnam War, the U.S. military phased out Saran insoles in favor of Poron®, a microcellular urethane, for its jungle and combat boots.〔 However, the British Army continues to use Saran insoles in its combat boots, primarily because of its insulating properties.〔Westwood, E., Smith, N., and Dyson, R., ''Comparison of the Influence of Three Types of Military Boot Insoles Upon the Force and Loading Rates Experienced In Drop Jump Landings'', Biomechanics Symposia 2001, University of San Francisco (2001), p. 30〕
