ABSTRACT:
A process for polymerizing at least one fluorinated monomer in an aqueous medium in the presence of initiator and polymerization agent to form an aqueous dispersion of particles of fluoropolymer having a fluoropolymers solids content of at least about 10% by weight. The polymerization agent is a combination of fluoropolyether acid or salt thereof and hydrocarbon surfactant. The aqueous medium contains less than about 300 ppm of perfluoroalkane carboxylic acid or salt fluorosurfactants. The process is preferably performed without adding polymer seed prior to polymerization kick-off.
