There is provided a coating liquid capable of forming a coating film that is excellent in adhesiveness to the surface of a base material such as a metal, glass, or a resin even though the coating film contains PVDF which exhibits a remarkable non-tackiness and that can exhibit various desired functionalities such as non-tackiness, an antifouling property, chemical resistance, a sliding property, water repellency, electrical conductivity, an antifungal/antimicrobial property, and a deodorizing property. The coating liquid contains a polar solvent such as N,N-dimethylformamide or N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone, a hydrophilic polymer such as a chitosan derivative or a cellulose derivative, and polyvinylidene fluoride.
