A composition containing a polytetrafluoroethylene, a polymer (I) containing a polymerization unit (I) based on a monomer represented by the general formula (I), a nonionic surfactant, and an aqueous medium, wherein a content of the polytetrafluoroethylene in the composition is 10% by mass or more based on the composition, and a content of the nonionic surfactant in the composition is 1.0% by mass or more based on the polytetrafluoroethylene,CXX═CXR(—CZZ-A)  (I)wherein Xand Xare each independently F, Cl, H, or CF; Xis H, F, an alkyl group, or a fluorine-containing alkyl group; Ais an anionic group; R is a linking group; Zand Zare each independently H, F, an alkyl group, or a fluorine-containing alkyl group; and m is an integer of 1 or more.

Composition and method for producing the same

The present invention provides a polytetrafluoroethylene aqueous dispersion containing high-molecular-weight, significantly small polytetrafluoroethylene particles and having excellent dispersion stability. The present invention relates to an aqueous dispersion containing polytetrafluoroethylene particles containing a tetrafluoroethylene unit alone or a tetrafluoroethylene unit and a modifying monomer unit based on a modifying monomer copolymerizable with the tetrafluoroethylene. The polytetrafluoroethylene particles have a volume average particle size of not smaller than 0.1 nm but smaller than 20 nm, a melt flow rate of not lower than 0 g/10 min but lower than 80 g/10 min determined at 380&#xb0; C. and 5 kg load, a melting point of 324&#xb0; C. to 360&#xb0; C., and an initial pyrolysis temperature of not lower than 400&#xb0; C.

Polytetrafluoroethylene aqueous dispersion

The present invention provides a polytetrafluoroethylene powder having high dispersibility in lubricants. The polytetrafluoroethylene powder includes polytetrafluoroethylene containing a tetrafluoroethylene unit alone or a tetrafluoroethylene unit and a modifying monomer unit based on a modifying monomer copolymerizable with the tetrafluoroethylene, and has a specific surface area of 32 m/g or larger.
