Abstract

A tetrafluoroethylene polymer having high stretchability, a fibrillatable character and a non-melt fabricable quality, which has a standard specific gravity of at most 2.160, and a tensile break strength of from 32.0N (3.26 kgf) to 49.0N (5.0 kgf) or an endothermic ratio of at most 0.15 as calculated from the measurement by differential thermal analysis. The tetrafluoroethylene polymer is suitable for stretching operation after paste extrusion.
