The present invention provides a fluoropolymer dispersion comprising
fluoropolymer particles having an average particle size of 10 to 400 nm
dispersed in water whereby the dispersion is free of fluorinated
surfactant having a molecular weight of less than 1000 g/mol or contains
the fluorinated surfactant having a molecular weight of less than 1000
g/mol in an amount of not more than 0.025% by weight based on the total
weight of solids in the dispersion. The dispersion further comprises a
non-ionic surfactant and an anionic surfactant selected from fluorinated
anionic surfactants having a molecular weight of at least 1000 g/mol,
non-fluorinated anionic surfactants and mixtures thereof.
