ETHYLENE/TETRAFLUOROETHYLENE COPOLYMER AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING THE SAME

摘要

To provide an ethylene/tetrafluoroethylene copolymer excellent in the thermal resistance, and a method for its production. The ethylene/tetrafluoroethylene copolymer is produced by polymerizing ethylene with tetrafluoroethylene in an organic solvent containing no chlorine atoms as a polymerization medium, in the presence of a chain transfer agent containing no chlorine atoms and a polymerization initiator containing no chlorine atoms, and further in the substantial absence of a chain transferable compound having a carbon-chlorine atomic bond in the reaction system.
