Abstract
To provide a process for producing a PTFE molding powder having a high bulk density from granular polymer particles without using an emulsifying agent having problems of bioaccumulation and toxicity. A process for producing a polytetrafluoroethylene molding powder, which comprises a step of suspension-polymerizing a monomer containing at least 99.8 mass % of tetrafluoroethylene in an aqueous medium to produce granular polymer particles and a step of milling the granular polymer particles, wherein the aqueous medium contains a compound represented by R(OCF(X)CF)OCF(X)COOM, at a concentration of from 0.5 to 2,000 ppm. Ris a perfluorinated Cmonovalent organic group, Xand Xare fluorine atoms, etc., and Mis an ammonium ion or the like.
