Abstract

Provided is a process for producing an aqueous fluorinated polymer dispersion having a reduced content of a fluorinated emulsifier by using a weakly basic anion-exchange resin to adsorb and remove a fluorinated emulsifier with excellent efficiency from an aqueous fluorinated polymer dispersion. Also provided is a process for producing an aqueous fluorinated polymer dispersion having a reduced content of a fluorinated emulsifier, wherein the process includes: adding an organic carboxylic acid represented by the following formula (1):Q(CH2)m(CH(OH))nCOOH  (1)wherein Q is H, CH3 or COOH, m and n each independently represent 0 or an integer of from 1 to 4, and 4≧n+m≧1, to an aqueous fluorinated polymer dispersion containing a fluorinated emulsifier; and then contacting with a weakly basic anion-exchange resin to adsorb and remove the fluorinated emulsifier.
