Abstract

PURPOSE:To form an object very similar to a mold in shape by fusing thermally one end of a PTFE pipe, setting this pipe in an air mold, then heating it up to the softening temperature of PTFE and introducing compressed air from the other end of the pipe into said pipe. CONSTITUTION:One end of a polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) pipe 1 is heat- pressed at about 380 deg.C to make a PTFE pipe 1 of which one end is thermally fused. This PTFE pipe 1 is mounted on vessel molds 2, 3, and 4, compressed air is sent from one end of the pipe and the inner pressure of said pipe is increased to about 2.5kgf/cm<2> during the time of about 0.5 minute to expand said pipe. Next, this pipe is cooled with water to the ambient temperature while the pressed state is kept, then the pressure is decreased, the molds 2, 3, and 4 and a joint top 5 are released to get a vessel-shaped molding 6. Excess resin is cut out from the bottom and top portions of this vessel-shaped molding 6 to obtain a PTFE-made vessel 7.

[Example] As the PTFE tube used in the present invention, any PTFE tube can be used without any particular restriction as long as it can be formed into a container by heating and increasing internal pressure in a mold after one end of the tube is heat-sealed. However, from the viewpoints of easy expansion of the tube for molding and easy heat fusion of one end of the tube, perfluoroalkyl vinyl ether was copolymerized with 0.01 to 1.0 weight 96. A PTFE tube formed by a paste extrusion method using PTFE fine powder as a raw material is preferred. Note that, for example, PTF made of PTPE homopolymer
When an E tube is used, one end of the tube tends to be difficult to be heat-sealed.
