METHOD FOR PRODUCING POROUS POLYTETRAFLUOROETHYLENE MEMBRANE

摘要

Provided is a method including: a step A of extruding a mixture containing a polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) fine powder having a standard specific gravity (SSG) of 2.19 or less and a liquid lubricant into a sheet using a flat die so as to obtain a PTFE sheet; a step B of rolling the PTFE sheet by passing the sheet between a pair of rolls in a longitudinal direction of the sheet; a step C of stretching the rolled PTFE sheet in a transverse direction of the sheet; a step D of removing the liquid lubricant from the PTFE sheet; and a step E of stretching the PTFE sheet, from which the liquid lubricant has been removed, both in the longitudinal direction of the sheet and in the transverse direction of the sheet, for example, at an area stretch ratio of 150 to 700, so as to make the sheet porous. According to this production method, it is possible to increase the PF value of the porous PTFE membrane.

1. A method for producing a porous polytetrafluoroethylene membrane, comprising:
a step A of extruding a mixture containing a polytetrafluoroethylene fine powder having a standard specific gravity of 2.19 or less and a liquid lubricant into a sheet using a flat die so as to obtain a polytetrafluoroethylene sheet; a step B of rolling the polytetrafluoroethylene sheet by passing the sheet between a pair of rolls in a longitudinal direction of the sheet that is a direction of the extrusion in the step A; a step C of stretching the polytetrafluoroethylene sheet in a transverse direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the sheet; a step D of removing the liquid lubricant from the polytetrafluoroethylene sheet that has been rolled in the step B and stretched in the step C; and a step E of stretching the polytetrafluoroethylene sheet, from which the liquid lubricant has been removed in the step D, both in the longitudinal direction of the sheet and in the transverse direction of the sheet so as to obtain a porous polytetrafluoroethylene membrane.
