Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2021053531A1] The present invention relates to low molecular weight polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) micropowder, The present invention relates to production of low molecular weight PTFE micropowder by direct polymerization technology and overcomes limitation of the melt viscosities over prior art and that is devoid of the step of irradiation or thermal degradation and complies with regulations on PFOA restriction in substances. The present invention relates to a process for preparing a low molecular weight polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) micropowder, comprising the steps of:(a) polymerizing Tetrafluoroethylene (TFE); (b) coagulating the particles of PTFE to increase particle size; (c) washing the particles of PTFE to remove impurities; and (d) drying the wet PTFE micropowder to remove moisture and volatiles.
