Abstract

This disclosure is directed to a one pass process for forming a porous, uniaxially oriented polytetrafluoroethylene sheet which is coherent and suitable for utilization as an electrode backing (wetproofing) sheet and the resulting backing sheet. Particulate PTFE is blended in an organic liquid medium to form a dispersion to which a pore-forming agent is added. After mixing, the organic liquid is removed and the dry mix is fibrillated, chopped and formed into a sheet by passing it once through heated rollers.
