To provide a polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) aqueous dispersion, which does
not substantially contain ammonium perfluorooctanoate and is excellent in
mechanical stability, wettability, permeability and coating property, and
its product.A PTFE aqueous dispersion comprising from 15 to 70 mass % of
PTFE fine particles having an average particle size of from 0.1 to 0.5
.mu.m, from 1.times.10.sup.-5 to 0.5 mass %, based on the mass of the
PTFE, of a fluorinated emulsifier of the formula (1):
XCF.sub.2CF.sub.2(O).sub.mCF.sub.2CF.sub.2OCF.sub.2COOA, wherein X is a
hydrogen atom or a fluorine atom, A is a hydrogen atom, an alkali metal
or NH.sub.4 and m is an integer of 0 or 1, and from 1 to 20 mass %, based
on the mass of the PTFE, of a nonionic surfactant.
