Abstract: To provide an un-sintered polytetrafluoroethylene processed article which has an un-sintered polytetrafluoroethylene layer formed by coating and/or impregnating with an aqueous dispersion of PTFE and is characterized in that a content of alkyl phenols detected from the un-sintered PTFE layer is not more than 0.1 ppm. The un-sintered PTFE-processed article scarcely contains alkyl phenols which are suspected as chemical substances having endocrine disrupting activity.

Abstract: The present invention provides an aqueous polytetrafluoroethylene dispersion composition characterized in that the composition comprises 30 to 65 wt. % of polytetrafluoroethylene and a polyoxyethylene alkyl ether in an amount of 2 to 10 wt. % based on the polytetrafluoroethylene, the polyoxyethylene alkyl ether being represented by the formulaRO(CH.sub.2 CH.sub.2 O)nHwherein R is a saturated or unsaturated hydrocarbon group having 8 to 18 carbon atoms, and n is 5 to 18, having a cloud point of over 45.degree. C. to not higher than 85.degree. C. and containing 65 to 70 wt. % of ethylene oxide in the molecule.

Abstract: To provide the method for concentrating an aqueous dispersion of fluorine-containing polymer particles containing a surfactant, which is applicable to a fluorine-containing polymer such as PTFE being easily fibrilated and assures low energy, low cost and short term concentration only by using various kinds of surfactants in a small amount. The method for concentrating an aqueous dispersion of fluorine-containing polymer particles containing the surfactant by feeding the aqueous dispersion of fluorine-containing polymer particles containing the surfactant in an amount of 2.0 to 8.0% by weight based on a solid content of the fluorine-containing polymer to a micro filtration membrane having a pore size of 0.01 to 1 .mu.m with aqueous dispersion feeding means which does not substantially generate shearing force and then removing an aqueous medium containing the surfactant from the aqueous dispersion.

Abstract: N-(2-Hydroxyethyl)nicotinamide nitrate or its salt prevents or ameliorates anxiety neurosis or panic disorder, or the following anxiety. This compound or its salt has few side effects and exhibits immediate action.

Abstract: An aqueous fluorine-containing polymer dispersion, which comprises a fluorine-containing polymer, a nonionic surfactant and a preservative having at least one halogen atom on a carbon atom having an electron attractive group or a preservative having methylol group or methylene group and releasing formaldehyde, is provided. The above-mentioned dispersion is free of putrefying odor and suspended matters, is excellent in stability for a long period of time without pH decrease and does not generate any cissing and aggregation at the time of coating such as impregnation.
