Abstract
A process for producing a degraded derivative tetrafluoroethylene product. A batch of solid tetrafluoroethylene material is placed in a structure having a cavity with the structure formed from a metal such as aluminum. The batch is heated in the structure with a temperature of between 1000 degrees Fahrenheit to 2000 degrees Fahrenheit. At least portion of the batch is removed from the upper end of the structure as the portion passes from a solid to a liquid phase. The portion is allowed to cool and re-solidify into a degraded derivative tetrafluoroethylene product.
Claims39
A process for producing a degraded derivative tetrafluoroethylene product with enhanced crystallinity comprising the steps of:
- heating a batch of tetrafluoroethylene material in an environment with a temperature of between 1000 degrees Fahrenheit and 2000 degrees Fahrenheit;
- removing a tetrafluoroethylene-derived material from the environment as said material passes from a solid to a liquid phase;
- and
- allowing the tetrafluoroethylene material to re-solidify.
A process for the formation of a submicron particle size derivative tetrafluoroethylene product comprising the steps:
- melting at least a portion of a batch of tetrafluoroethylene;
- collecting at least a portion of the batch as said at least a portion passes from a solid to a liquid phase;
- cooling at least a portion of the batch;
- and
- grinding at least a portion of the batch to a submicron particle size.
A product manufactured by using the process of:
- heating solid tetrafluoroethylene material in an environment with a temperature of between 1000 degrees Fahrenheit and 2000 degrees Fahrenheit;
- removing at least a portion of said tetrafluoroethylene material from the environment as said at least a portion passes from a solid to a liquid phase;
- and
- allowing the liquid tetrafluoroethylene material to re-solidify.
A product manufactured by using the process of:
