Abstract

See full text

In this invention a new form of polytetrafluoroethylene has been found to be compression moldable to provide strong molded articles. It is also useful as an additive or strength binder. The new form is a compression molding powder comprised of comminuted, sheared particles of expanded porous polytetrafluoroethylene, said particles having a nudular-microfibrillar structure of irregular shape, and a mean particle size between 5 and 500 micrometers, and having a coating of a thermoplastic fluoropolymer on at least a portion of the particle. By irregular shape is meant that the nodes and fibrils do not have an ordered arrangement. The bulk density is about 0.06 to 0.2 g/cc.
