example 1

[0097] Into 100 parts by weight of fine PTFE powder (F104, product of Daikin Chemical Co., Ltd.), was incorporated 26 parts by weight of naphtha, and they were mixed. This mixture was left to stand for about 24 hours at 60° C. to get the respective components intimate with each other. The mixture was then compressed within a cylinder having an inner diameter of about 130 mm to preform the mixture. The preform in the form of a column was charged into an extrusion cylinder having an inner diameter of 130 mm and extruded through a T-die into a sheet having a width of 150 mm and a thickness of 2 mm. The resultant sheet-like extrudate was then rolled so as to give a rolling ratio of 4.0 and a film thickness of 0.50 mm.

[0098] The rolled sheet obtained above was stretched at a draw ratio of 2.25 times at 200° C. in a lengthwise direction thereof and then at a draw ratio of 11.0 times at 200° C. in a crosswise direction thereof. The total draw ratio was 24.75 times. The resultant expanded ...

Abstract

An expanded porous polytetrafluoroethylene film having residual strain of at most 11.0% as measured after a load required to indent a rod, which is in a columnar form that its outer diameter is at least 2 mm and at least 1.9 times as much as the thickness of the film, and has a smooth plane perpendicular to its axis at a free end surface thereof and a modulus of longitudinal elasticity of at least 1.0×104 kgf/mm2, up to 20% of the film thickness at a strain rate of 100%/min from the free end surface is applied repeatedly 20 times, and a production process of the porous film, in which a step of compressing an expanded porous polytetrafluoroethylene film having a high draw ratio is provided.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD [0001] The present invention relates to an expanded porous polytetrafluoroethylene film having elastic recovery property in a thickness-wise direction of the film, a production process thereof, and use of the porous film for various applications. The expanded porous polytetrafluoroethylene film according to the present invention can be suitably used as cushioning materials, sealing materials, semiconductor-packaging members, members for inspection of semiconductors, medical implanting material, and the like making good use of its properties such as heat resistance, chemical resistance and elastic recovery property. BACKGROUND ART [0002] An expanded porous polytetrafluoroethylene material produced by stretching of polytetrafluoroethylene (hereinafter abbreviated as “PTFE”) has a microstructure composed of a great number of fibrils (fine fibers) and a great number of nodes connected to each other by the fibrils, and this microstructure forms a porous structure of open-...
