Patent ID: 7732531

Claim:
A molded article prepared from a resin composition comprising: a polytetrafluoroethylene resin (A); and a thermoplastic resin (B) having a melting point of not lower than 100° C. but lower than 322° C. in an amount of 1 to 60% by mass of the sum of the polytetrafluoroethylene resin (A) and said thermoplastic resin (B), wherein said molded article is prepared from said composition by an extrusion coating molding technique or a wrapping tape technique, and when said molded article is compared with a heated molded article obtained by heating said molded article to a temperature of not lower than 340° C., the maximum peak temperature of the endothermic curve appearing on the crystal melting curve of said polytetrafluoroethylene resin (A) of said molded article without said heating as measured by a differential scanning calorimeter is higher by at least 3° C. than the maximum peak temperature of the endothermic curve appearing on the crystal melting curve of said polytetrafluoroethylene resin (A) of said heated molded article as measured by said differential scanning calorimeter.
