  • Publication number: 20230158718
    Abstract: A heat-resistant release sheet is configured to be disposed, when a resin or a target including a resin is used in a step involving heating and melting of the resin, between the resin or the target and a member to be brought into contact with the resin or the target to prevent direct contact between the resin or the target and the member. The sheet includes a skived sheet including polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) or a modified PTFE. A content of a tetrafluoroethylene (TFE) unit in the modified PTFE is 99 mass % or more. In each of two directions being in-plane directions of the heat-resistant release sheet and being perpendicular to each other, a rate of dimensional shrinkage induced by heating at 175° C. for 30 minutes is more than 0%. The sheet includes the skived sheet including the heat-resistant resin but prevents occurrence of problems attributable to inclusion of the skived sheet.
