Abstract
A fluorine-containing copolymer comprising ethylene, tetrafluoroethylene, a fluorovinyl compound of the formula: CH ═CFRf in which Rf is a fluoroalkyl group having 2 to 10 carbon atoms, and hexafluoropropylene, in which a molar ratio of tetrafluoroethylene to ethylene is from 40:60 to 90:10, the content of the above fluorovinyl compound of the formula: CH ═CFRf is from 0.1 to 10 mole % based on the whole copolymer, and the content of hexafluoropropylene is from 0.1 to 30 mole % based on the whole copolymer. This fluorine-containing copolymer can provide films having good transparency and high tear strength, and such films are useful as weather-resistant protective films, films for agricultural housings, films for constructions, and the like.
