The use of polymer shells, filled with dichlorodifluoromethane in laser compression experiments is described. The absence of shell emission leads to chlorine spectra with little contaminating shell continuum emission. The low x-ray opacity of polymer indicates that chlorine heliumlike emission could be detected even with compressed shell areal density of 0.1 gm cm/sup -2/.
