Abstract

This invention provide an aqueous PTFE dispersion and a process for efficiently producing the aqueous PTFE dispersion for coagulation processing having excellent coagulation properties of PTFE microparticles. The process involves adding a synthetic adsorbent, having a specific surface area of from 100 to 2,000 m2/g, to an aqueous PTFE dispersion containing both PTFE microparticles, having an average particle size of from 0.10 to 0.50 μm, and a nonionic surfactant, followed by stirring or shaking and then separation into a liquid phase and a solid phase, and recovering an aqueous PTFE dispersion which contains from 45 to 70 mass % of PTFE microparticles having an average particle size of from 0.10 to 0.50 μm and from 1.4 to 2.1 mass %, based on the mass of the PTFE microparticles, of a nonionic surfactant.
