When the raw material fluororesin is irradiated with ionizing radiation, it is effective to heat the raw material fluororesin above its melting point. This is because heating the raw material fluororesin activates the movement of the molecular main chain, thereby efficiently performing a cross-linking reaction between molecules. Therefore, when irradiating the PTFE with ionizing radiation, the PTFE is heated to a temperature higher than the melting point of 327 ° C. Further, when the PFA is irradiated with ionizing radiation, the irradiation is performed in a state where the PFA is heated to a temperature higher than the melting point of 315 ° C. When irradiating the FEP with ionizing radiation, the FEP is heated to a temperature higher than the melting point of 275 ° C. of the FEP.
