Abstract
A coherent, weak agglomerated dustless solid particulate mass is formed from a mixture of discrete particles in the size range from less than about 1 micron to about 2,000 microns, and fibrillatable polytetrafluoroethylene (hereinafter referred to as PTFE) in an amount from about 0.02, but less than 1 percent and preferably less than 0.75 percent by weight based on total solids, by working the mixture in a dry or relatively dry state with a working action in an unconfined zone at a temperature in excess of 20.degree. C., but below the sintering temperature of PTFE or a temperature deleterious to said particles, whichever is lower, without changing the primary particle size range of the material.
