Abstract
A tetrafluoroethylene polymer tube which is in a porous form composed of continuous pores and has heat-shrinkability in a radial direction or both radial direction and longitudinal direction of the tube, and a process for producing the same comprising applying pressure into inside of a tetrafluoroethylene polymer tube formed by paste extrusion molding a powder of the tetrafluoroethylene polymer and then sintered while heating the same to a temperature of not higher than the melting initiation temperature of the tetrafluoroethylene polymer to expand the tube to a radial direction only or both radial direction and longitudinal direction of the tube, and then cooling the tube in a pressurized state.
