摘要:
Provided is a method for producing a polytetrafluoroethylene particle, comprising subjecting tetrafluoroethylene to suspension polymerization in an aqueous medium to prepare a suspension-polymerized particle of polytetrafluoroethylene, washing and then crushing the suspension-polymerized particle or crushing the suspension-polymerized particle with washing to prepare a crushed particle, dehydrating the crushed particle to prepare a crushed particle having a water content of 40% by mass or less, and subjecting the dehydrated crushed particle to heat treatment to produce a polytetrafluoroethylene particle.

A semi-finished product obtained as a mixture of PTFE powder and water is put on conveyance trays (70) and is then input to a producing apparatus (10). In the producing apparatus (10), the conveyance trays (70) arranged vertically pass through a first drying zone (41), a second drying zone (42), and a heat treatment zone (43) in this order. In the first drying zone (41), the water contained in the semi-finished product is heated by a microwave to be evaporated. In the second drying zone (42), residual water in the semi-finished product is heated by hot wind to be evaporated. In the heat treatment zone (43), the temperature of dried PTFE powder is kept at approximately 160 °C. The semi-finished product on each conveyance tray (70) passes through the three zones to be PTFE powder as a finished product.
摘要:
Provided is a method for producing low molecular weight polytetrafluoroethylene that is less likely to generate perfluorooctanoic acid and salts thereof. The disclosure relates to a method for producing low molecular weight polytetrafluoroethylene having a melt viscosity at 380°C of 1.0 × 10 2 to 7.0 × 10 5 Pa.s. The method includes: (1) irradiating high molecular weight polytetrafluoroethylene with radiation in the presence of a substance capable of generating a free hydrogen atom and decomposing the high molecular weight polytetrafluoroethylene into a low molecular weight component; and (2) deactivating at least part of main-chain radicals and end radicals generated by the irradiation and providing the low molecular weight polytetrafluoroethylene.

Provided is a method for producing low-molecular-weight polytetrafluoroethylene which is less likely to generate C6-C14 perfluorocarboxylic acids and salts thereof. The disclosure relates to a method for producing low-molecular-weight polytetrafluoroethylene having a melt viscosity at 380°C of 1.0 × 10 2 to 7.0 × 10 5 Pa·s. The method includes (1) irradiating high-molecular-weight polytetrafluoroethylene with radiation in a substantially oxygen-free state and decomposing the high-molecular-weight polytetrafluoroethylene into a low-molecular-weight component and (2) deactivating, in a substantially oxygen-free state, at least part of main-chain radicals and end radicals generated by the irradiation and providing the low-molecular-weight polytetrafluoroethylene.
摘要:
Provided is a method for producing a polytetrafluoroethylene powder, comprising subjecting tetrafluoroethylene to suspension polymerization in an aqueous medium to prepare a suspension-polymerized particle of non melt-processible polytetrafluoroethylene, drying the suspension-polymerized particle to prepare a dry particle, subjecting the dry particle to fluorine radical treatment to prepare a fluorine radical-treated particle, and crushing the fluorine radical-treated particle to produce a polytetrafluoroethylene powder.
