Copolymers and terpolymers, based on vinyl ethers from linseed conjugated fatty alcohols and selected as having the most potential for commercial use, were evaluated as chemically resistant coatings, metal‐decorating coatings, small‐applicance and architectural finishes, wire coatings, and adhesives. Studies show these materials to have promise in areas where a high‐temperature baking schedule can be tolerated and where color is not of prime importance. Good compatibility with most commonly used pigments was observed. As wire coatings, film showed good continuity and had superior dielectric strength and resistance to cut–through; however, improvement in flexibility and adhesion to copper would be needed for successful application. Performance as adhesives was disappointing, since curing in the absence of air was poor. The polymers showed some promise as can coatings, but the need for modifications in them was demonstrated.
