example 1

(1) Treatment in Contact with Ion Exchange Resin

[0083]A 10% aqueous solution (150 L) of polyoxyethylene alkyl ether (LEOCOL TD90, trade name, product of LION Corp.) as a nonfluorinated nonionic surfactant was passed through a column (30 cm in diameter, 200 cm in height) packed with 150 L of Amberjet IRA 40020H (trade name, product of ROHM AND HAAS Company) as an OH-form anion exchange resin over 1 hour.

[0084]An aqueous FEP dispersion (600 L; FEP particles having an average primary particle diameter of 100 nm) adjusted to a fluororesin concentration of 35%, a LEOCOL TD90 concentration of 10% relative to the fluororesin and a PFOA concentration of 1020 ppm of the fluororesin was passed through the above column over 4 hours (space velocity (SV)=0.5), whereby a FEP dispersion (fluororesin concentration: 35% by mass, nonfluorinated nonionic surfactant concentration: 10% / fluororesin) was obtained. The PFOA concentration in the FEP dispersion obtained was below the detection limit (10 ppm)...

[0086]To the FEP dispersion obtained in Example 1 by the treatment in contact with the ion exchange resin was added LEOCOL TD90 in a further amount corresponding to 10% of the fluororesin, sodium dioctyl sulfosuccinate (0.1% (by mass) aqueous solution thereof having a surface tension of 26 mN / m at 25° C.), in the form of a 70% methanol solution, was added in an amount corresponding to 1856 ppm of the fluororesin, the fluororesin concentration was adjusted to 30% by addition of water and, further, the pH was adjusted to 9.5 with aqueous ammonia. The dispersion obtained had an electric conductivity at 25° C. of 380 μS / cm. This dispersion was allowed to stand at 70° C. for 5 hours; it separated into two phases. The supernatant phase was removed and the concentrated phase was recovered; thus was obtained an aqueous fluororesin dispersion having a fluororesin concentration of 61%, having a nonfluorinated nonionic surfactant concentration at a level corresponding to 5.3% of the fluororesi...

[0087]To the FEP dispersion obtained in Example 1 by the treatment in contact with the ion exchange resin was added LEOCOL TD90 in a further amount corresponding to 10% of the fluororesin, sodium lauryl sulfate was added in an amount corresponding to 1204 ppm of the fluororesin, the fluororesin concentration was adjusted to 30% by addition of water and, further, the pH was adjusted to 9.5 with aqueous ammonia. The dispersion obtained had an electric conductivity at 25° C. of 450 μS / cm. This dispersion was allowed to stand at 70° C. for 5 hours; it separated into two phases. The supernatant phase was removed and the concentrated phase was recovered; thus was obtained an aqueous fluororesin dispersion having a fluororesin concentration of 61%, having a nonfluorinated nonionic surfactant concentration at a level corresponding to 5.2% of the fluororesin, containing fluororesin particles with an average primary particle diameter of 100 nm and having an electric conductivity at 25° C. of ...

Abstract

The present invention provides an aqueous fluororesin dispersion comprising a melt-processable fluororesin which is low in fluorinated surfactant concentration and excellent in dispersion stability even when the concentration of the melt-processable fluororesin is high. The present invention is related to an aqueous fluororesin dispersion comprising a melt-processable fluororesin particle dispersed in an aqueous medium, wherein a concentration of the melt-processable fluororesin is 55 to 75% by mass relative to the aqueous fluororesin dispersion, and a fluorinated surfactant content in the aqueous fluororesin dispersion is not higher than a level corresponding to 100 ppm of the melt-processable fluororesin.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD[0001]The present invention relates to an aqueous fluororesin dispersion and a method for producing the same.BACKGROUND ART[0002]Aqueous fluororesin dispersions comprising a melt-processable fluororesin can be molded into films excellent in chemical stability, nonstickiness, weathering resistance and other characteristics by the coating, impregnation or other method and therefore are widely used in such fields of application as cooking utensils, pipe linings and impregnated glass cloth membranes. In these applications, it is preferred that the aqueous fluororesin dispersions comprising a melt-processable fluororesin be high in fluororesin concentration; therefore, those products obtained by polymerization of a fluorinated monomer or monomers in an aqueous medium in the presence of a fluorinated surfactant and the subsequent concentration are generally used. However, it is desirable from the cost viewpoint to remove the fluorinated surfactant from the aqueous fluorores...
