The present invention provides a polytetrafluoroethylene molded article,
particularly a PTFE molded article for high-frequency insulation, which
is excellent in various electric properties and mechanical properties in
a high frequency range of 3 to 30 GHz. The present invention also
provides PTFE fine powder, which is excellent in extrusion moldability
and capable of providing the molded article, and a process for preparing
the same. More specifically, the present invention relates to a
polytetrafluoroethylene fine powder having a standard specific gravity of
2.180 to 2.225, which is obtained by contacting polytetrafluoroethylene
fine powder having a standard specific gravity of 2.180 to 2.225 with a
fluorine radical source, wherein tan.delta. at 12 GHz of a film
comprising the powder, which is obtained by cooling at 5 to 50.degree.
