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.

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, Ralph Wiley and his boss, John Reilly, both employed by Dow
Chemical Company, completed the final work needed for the introduction of PVDC, which had been invented in 1939. PVDC monofilaments were also extruded for the first time. The word

After the end of the
Vietnam War, the U.S. military phased out PVDC insoles in favor of Poron®, a microcellular urethane, for its jungle and combat boots. However, the British Army continues to use PVDC insoles in its combat boots, primarily because of its insulating properties.
