TREATMENT METHOD FOR FLUORORESIN PELLETS

摘要

Provided is a treatment method for fluororesin pellets to remove hydrofluoric acid released from fluororesin pellets obtained by melt-molding a melt-moldable fluororesin. The treatment method comprises bringing a hydrofluoric acid-removing medium selected from warm water of from 30 to 200° C., steam of from 100 to 200° C. and warm wind of from 40 to 200° C. into contact with fluororesin pellets obtained by melt-molding a melt-moldable fluororesin, and thereby treating the fluororesin pellets so that the amount of hydrofluoric acid released per kg of the resulting fluororesin pellets would be at most 5μg as determined after the storage of the resulting fluororesin pellets at 35° C. for 15 days.
