Hollow fiber membranes having a skinned surface on one diameter, and a porous surface on the opposite diameter are produced from perfluorinated thermoplastic polymers by extruding a heated solution of the polymer having a low critical solution temperature directly into a cooling bath to form the porous membrane by liquid-liquid phase separation. Extrusion can be conducted either vertically or horizontally. The hollow fiber membranes are useful as ultrafiltration membranes and as membrane contactors.
