A hydroentangled fluoropolymer sheet is claimed. Also claimed is a process comprising: (a) forming a sheet of fluoropolymer fibres; and (b) hydroentangling the fibres. The fluoropolymer is pref. from ethylene/chlorotrifluoroethylene copolymer (most pred., esp. comprising 40-60 (44-55, esp.50) mole % ethylene and 40-60 (44-55, esp. 50) mole % chlorotrifluoroethylene and of mol. wt. 10000-3000000), ethylene/TFE copolymer, TFE/hexafluoropropylene copolymer, TFE/perfluoromethylvinyl ether copolymer, polyvinylidene fluoride, polyvinyl fluoride, hexafluoroisobutylene/vinylidine fluoride copolymer, PTFE, and polychlorotrifluoroethylene. The fibres pref. have dia. 0.2-10 (1-9, pref. 1-7, esp. 3-7) mu m. |
