Abstract
Asymmetric hollow fibers having a microporous hollow fiber core comprising a polyolefin, e.g. polypropylene, and an asymmetric coating comprising a fluoropolymer, e.g. SIXEF.TM.-Durene. Optionally, the coating may also comprise glycerine which is applied prior to the fluoropolymer. The fibers are coated by wet-spinning, or alternately by dry jet-wet spinning, through a spinning jet in which a fluoropolymer-containing fluid is applied to the outer surface of the fibers as they pass through the jet. The fibers exit the jet into a water bath. If greater selectivity is needed, the fiber later may be coated with an additional layer of a highly selective material, e.g. polyvinyl alcohol, PVP, and the like.
