Abstract

Polytetrafluoroethylene powder having an average particle size of 1 to 30 .mu.m and a specific surface area of 2 to 6 m.sup.2 /g is prepared by heating unsintered polytetrafluoroethylene powder having a melting point of 313.degree. to 330.degree. C. at a temperature in a range from a temperature 70.degree. C. lower than the melting point to a temperature lower than the melting point and comminuting the heated powder.
