When the irradiation crosslinking temperature becomes lower than the melting point of the polytetrafluoroethylene resin to be used, decomposition occurs.
When the irradiation crosslinking temperature is 400 ° C. or higher, decomposition is performed. It is preferable that the irradiation crosslinking temperature is in a temperature range of 5 ° C. to 10 ° C. higher than the melting point of the used polytetrafluoroethylene resin, because the compounding of the polytetrafluoroethylene molecules formed during the formation of the paste extruded fiber is broken. This is because they can be crosslinked without any problem.

The irradiation dose in the crosslinking is preferably such that the absorbed dose is 1 KGy or less, preferably 0.1 KGy or less. If the absorbed dose is 1 KGy or more, the crosslink density becomes excessive and stretching cannot be performed. In order to stretch at a high magnification, it is necessary to keep the crosslinking density at a low level. For this purpose, the absorbed dose is desirably 0.1 KGy or less.
