Saponification cleaves the acetate ester side groups while the intended carbon backbone remains intact:
The ideal target C is therefore a vinyl chloride-vinyl alcohol copolymer, containing and units in the original sequence positions. The carbon–oxygen bond to the backbone remains; hydrolysis removes the acetyl group from oxygen. Incomplete hydrolysis would leave a three-component population of chloride, acetate and alcohol units. New hydroxyl groups can strengthen adhesion and coating interactions through hydrogen bonds.
