The present invention relates to the process of extruding melt drawing
fluoropolymer onto conductor to form insulated conductor at a line speed
of at least 533 m/min and having no more than 10 sparks and no more than
2 lumps/13.7 km of insulated conductor under conditions that comprise an
adequate process window to allow for these results to be obtained at
different conditions within the process window. The invention identifies
the critical parameters for achieving this process window, namely melt
flow rate of the fluoropolymer, preferably being 30.+-.3 g/10 min, and
the melt temperature of the extruding/melt-drawing step, preferably being
393.degree. C..+-.6.degree. C.
