Abstract

Apparatus for manufacturing a porous polytetrafluoroethylene material comprising extruding or rolling or a process consisting of the both an unsintered polytetrafluoroethylene mixture containing a liquid lubricant, and carrying out simultaneously next four steps of (a) evaporating a liquid lubricant, (b) stretching the molded articles in an unsintered condition, (c) sintering the same in a stretched condition, and (d) stretching the same in a sintered condition at an atmospheric temperature of more than 390.degree. C. to obtain mechanical strengths such as a Young's modulus of more than 10000 kg/cm.sup.2, and a matrix tensile strength of more than 1100 kg/cm.sup.2.
