Abstract: Lubricating greases comprising: A) from 65.1 to 95% by weight of a (per)fluoropolyether oil having a viscosity at 20° C. in the range 20-2,000 cSt; B) from 5 to 34.9% by weight of powder of polytetrafluoroethylene or of a tetrafluoroethylene copolymer with another monomer having an ethylene type unsaturation, said powder obtainable by coagulation with an electrolyte of an aqueous latex containing polymeric particles having sizes comprised between 5 and 100 nm, wherein the grease has a surfactant content lower than 20 ppm and a water content lower than 100 ppm.

Abstract: A process for obtaining non thermoprocessable fine powders of homopolymer or modified PTFE, comprising the following steps: A) obtaining of the polymer latex under the gel form; B) washing of the polymer gel with acid aqueous solutions or neutral aqueous solutions; C) granulation of the gel washed by mechanical stirring, at a specific power in the range 1.5-10 kW/m3, until flotation of the PTFE fine powder, and separation of the floated fine powder; D) drying in an aerated oven of the floated fine powder at a drying temperature in the range 90° C.-160° C.
