Abstract
Polytetrafluoroethylene molding powder which comprises 0.01 to 1% by weight of a perfluoro(vinyl ether) unit and which has a heat of crystallization of 18.0 to 25.0 J/g. The molding powder provides a molded article which has a flex life of not less than 7 million cycles, a creep resistance (total deformation at 200.degree. C.) of not more than 20%, and a creep resistance (total deformation at 25.degree. C.) of not more than 15%. The polytetrafluoroethylene molding powder which is excellent in both creep resistance and flex fatigue resistance is provided as a molding material for parts which are repeatedly bent such as pump.
