Abstract

To provide a filler-containing PTFE granular powder, which has a large apparent density, a small average particle size, a narrow particle size distribution, a superior powder flowability and a small electrostatic charge, and gives a molded product having a superior tensile strength and elongation, a lower surface roughness and a high whiteness, and a process for preparing the same. The granular powder is prepared by forming a PTFE powder and a filler into an aqueous slurry by using an organic liquid forming liquid-liquid interface with water and a nonionic surfactant having a hydrophobic segment and a hydrophilic segment, and then granulating in combination of stirring and deagglomerating.
