The present invention provides a TFE resin molding material which has
electric characteristics, particularly low dielectric dissipation factor,
in a microwave area, can also lower extrusion pressure as the material is
of low molecular weight and can provide a molded article excellent in
surface smoothness. The material is especially useful as a coating
material for a coaxial cable for equipment in which microwave is used,
including satellite transmitting equipment and a cell phone base station.
A tetrafluoroethylene resin molding material excellent in high frequency
electric characteristics, which provides a molded article having a
dielectric constant of at most 2.2 and a dielectric dissipation factor of
at most 1.60.times.10.sup.-4 under 12 GHz, and a standard specific
gravity of at least 2.192 and less than 2.3 is provided. As the
tetrafluoroethylene resin, a tetrafluoroethylene homopolymer or a
copolymer of 99.9 to 99.9999% by mole of tetrafluoroethylene and 0.0001
to 0.1% by mole of a specific fluoromonomer is used.
