Claim 1
Independent Claim
102 words
A PROCESS OF PREPARING A POLYTETRAFLUOROETHYLENE MOLDING POWDER FROM GRANULAR, IRREGULARLY SHAPED POLYTETRAFLUOROETHYLENE CHARACTERIZED BY A TOTAL SURFACE AREA OF FROM 1 TO 4 SQUARE METER GRAM AS MEASURED BY NITROGEN ABSORPTION, CORRESPONDING TO A CALCULATED AVERAGE PARTICLE SIZE OF 0.67 TO 2.67 MM. ON THE ASSUMPTION THAT ALL PARTICLES ARE SPHERICAL, WHICH COMPRISES COMMIINUTING SAID POLYMER AS AN AQUEOUS SLURRY AT A TEMPERATURE OF 0 TO 30*C. WITH A ROTATING CUTTING SURFACE UNTIL AN AVERAGE PARTICLE SIZE OF 200 TO 700 MICRONS IS OBTAINED AND THEN WASHING SAID COMMINUTED POLYMER AS AN AQUEOUS SLURRY AT A TEMPERATURE OF 40 TO 70*C.
