The present invention relates to a partially-crystalline copolymer
comprising tetrafluoroethylene, hexafluoropropylene in an amount
corresponding to hexafluoropropylene index (HFPI) of from about 2.8 to
5.3, and preferably from about 0.2% to 3% by weight of perfluoro(alkyl
vinyl ether), said copolymer being polymerized and isolated in the
absence of added alkali metal salts, having a melt flow rate of within
the range of about 30.+-.3 g/10 min, and having no more than about 50
unstable endgroups/10.sup.6 carbon atoms can be extruded at high speed
onto conductor over a broad polymer melt temperature range to give
insulated wire of high quality.
