Provided are a tetrafluoroethylene copolymer excellent in paste
extrudability, which comprises a unit based on tetrafluoroethylene and a
unit based on a monomer represented by a formula of
CF.sub.2.dbd.CF--O--(CF.sub.2).sub.nCF.dbd.CF.sub.2 (wherein n is an
integer of from 1 to 6), wherein a content of the unit based on the
monomer represented by the formula is from 0.1 to 0.5% by mass, wherein a
particle size of a primary particle is from 0.1 to 0.5 .mu.m, wherein a
standard specific gravity is from 2.14 to 2.25, wherein a paste extrusion
pressure is from 24.5 to 73.5 MPa and wherein the copolymer remains not
undergoing melt molding; a fine powder of a tetrafluoroethylene
copolymer; and a production method and a paste extruded product thereof.
The TFE copolymer is excellent in paste extrudability and the molded
product thereof is excellent in heat resistance and transparency.
