Abstract

A process for continuously preparing a wet powder of PTFE, comprising the step of continuously slurrying a PTFE aqueous dispersion with a high shear machine, and the step of continuously granulating the slurry by using vertical agitator. The process can be carried out for a long time without trouble, and can continuously provide a dry powder having good powder properties. The powder properties can be controlled by regulating operation conditions.
