Polytetraflouroethylene (TFE) and Kynar - PVDF are both on allocation.
TFE sheet products, PTFE (TFE) and Kynar-PVDF manufacturing requires a mineral called Fluorspar that is mined in Mongolia and China. The world requirement for this mineral has risen significantly, as well as supply has tightened. PTFE materials have high temperature resistance, excellent chemical resistance and extremely low co-efficient of friction (slick) and is utilized throughout a bunch of applications from non-stick fry griddles to ptfe tape for personal use. This mineral is a crucial raw materials inside the production of fluoropolymers, fluorolubricants and quite a few refrigerants.This increasing amount of demand paired with shortage of raw materials is mainly responsible for a dramatic price increase (almost double throughout the last year), shortages, and we expect both these factors to stay in affect in the near future.
