How come there's a TFE and PVDF Shortages.

During the last year, the industry has had more shortages than I have seen inside my 30 years experience. In the past I have seen sharp price increases, and I have observed several shortages, and delivery issues as a consequence of plastic resin allocations from plastic resin vendors. This is actually the first time I have seen all these issues at the same time.

PTFE (TFE) and Kynar - PVDF are both on allocation.

Both of these resins are in short supply. The  PTFE Sheet product PTFE (TFE) and Kynar  manufacturing requires a mineral called Fluorspar that's mined in Mongolia and China. The world demand for this mineral has grown significantly, additionally, the supply has tightened. PTFE materials have high heat resistance, excellent chemical resistance and really low co-efficient of friction (slippery) and is utilized within tons of purposes from non-stick fry cookware to ptfe tape for personal use. This particular mineral is actually a essential raw material inside the production of fluoropolymers, fluorolubricants and several refrigerants.This escalating demand coupled with general shortage of raw materials is mainly responsible for a dramatic price increase (almost double over the past year), shortages, and we expect both these factors to continue in the near future.
