The present invention provides an aqueous non-melt processible polytetrafluoroethylene dispersion comprising non-melt processible polytetrafluoroethylene particles in an amount between 30 and 70% by weight based on the total weight of the dispersion and one or more non-ionic surfactants and wherein at least a part of said non-melt processible polytetrafluoroethylene particles comprise polytetrafluoroethylene polymer chains having repeating units comprising ionic groups. The invention further provides a method for obtaining the dispersions.
