Abstract
The present invention provides a modified polytetrafluoroethylene fine powder which can be processed into molded articles high in thermal stability, chemical resistance and transparency and for which the extrusion pressure can be lowered. The present invention is a modified polytetrafluoroethylene fine powder, wherein the cylinder extrusion pressure at a reduction ratio of 1600 is not higher than 50 MPa and the haze value of molded article a for measurement formed therefrom is not higher than 60.
Claims6
A method of producing a modified tetrafluoroethylene polymer which comprises:
- (1) a step of feeding tetrafluoroethylene and at least one species selected from the group consisting of a fluoro(alkyl vinyl ether) represented by the general formula (I):
- F2C═CFO(CF2)n1X1 (I)
- (wherein X1 represents a hydrogen atom or a fluorine atom and n1 represents an integer of 1 to 6), a vinylic heterocyclic compound represented by the general formula (II):
- (wherein X2 and X3 are the same or different and each represents a hydrogen atom or a fluorine atom and Y represents —CR1R2— in which R1 and R2 are the same or different and each represents a fluorine atom, an alkyl group containing 1 to 6 carbon atoms or a fluoroalkyl group containing 1 to 6 carbon atoms) and a fluoroolefin represented by the general formula (III):
- CX4X5═CX6(CF2)n2F (III)
- (wherein X4, X5 and X6 each represents a hydrogen atom or a fluorine atom provided that at least one of X4, X5 and X6 represents a fluorine atom;
- and n2 represents an integer of 1 to 5) to a reaction system and carrying out a polymerization reaction, and
- (2) a step of introducing tetrafluoroethylene and a chain transfer agent and a fluoro(alkyl vinyl ether) represented by the general formula (I) or a fluoroolefin represented by the general formula (III) into the reaction system and carrying out a polymerization reaction following the step (1),
- wherein the chain transfer agent comprises water-soluble alcohols containing 1 to 4 carbon atoms.
