ABSTRACT:
A uniformly expanded PTFE film is provided by extruding a PTFE film and gripping the unexpanded film about its periphery with a number of symmetrically disposed gripping members each equidistant from the center of the film. The extruded PTFE film is heated to a temperature in the range of 200-300 degrees Centigrade before expanding the extruded PTFE film. The gripping members are simultaneously rotated through an arc away from the center of the film, as by pivotally securing each gripping member to the end of an associated expansion arm and rotating the end of each expansion arm away from the center of the film while maintaining the gripping members equidistant from the center of the film. The expansion arms are uniformly rotated by a geared shaft powered by a drive mechanism that extends through the wall of an oven for coupling to an external motor.
