Abstract

A molded article of fluorine-containing polymer, especially of polytetrafluoroethylene, with increased water-repellency, and a jig for holding articles to be washed during washing processes using an aqueous washing medium. The molded article with superior water-repellency can be obtained by a treatment of the surface of fluorine-containing polymer with a fluorine-containing gas after roughening of the surface. The water-repellent jig made of the surface treated polytetrafluoroethylene is suited for use as a carrier for washing semi-conductor wafers and glass plates or guide rolls of a liquid crystal display device.
