Abstract
(i) A method for emulsion polymerization of tetrafluoroethylene, which comprises emulsion-polymerizing tetrafluoroethylene in the presence of a polymerization initiator, a paraffin wax containing not larger than 100 ppm of a reducing substance and an emulsifier, and (ii) a method for preventing irregular polymerization of tetrafluoroethylene, which comprises using the above method for emulsion polymerization give a constant polymerization time, and polytetrafluoroethylene having values of physical properties which meet the desired standard requirements.
