PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a fluoropolymer dispersion liquid that does not practically contain a fluorinated anionic surfactant, can be produced continuously or discontinuously with a high industrial productivity, and can be filtered within a very short time through an 80 μm net and subsequently through a 10 μm net, preferably does not leave behind any coagulated matter on the 10 μm net.
SOLUTION: The method for producing a fluoropolymer dispersion liquid that does not practically contain a fluorinated anionic surfactant comprises the following processes: (a) a 1.5-25 wt% nonionic surfactant against a weight of a fluoropolymer contained in a fluoropolymer dispersion liquid is added to the dispersion liquid, (b) to the dispersion liquid is added a water soluble salt that does not give any precipitate in the dispersion liquid in a operating condition, (c) the dispersion liquid is contacted with a basic anionic ion-exchange resin and then (d) the dispersion liquid is separated from the basic anionic ion-exchange resin, wherein the dispersion liquid is to be filtered before the process (d) through a 180 μm net and successively through a 10 μm net.
