Polytetraflouroethylene (TFE) and PVDF both are on allocation.
Teflon product PTFE (TFE) along with Kynar manufacturing requires a mineral called Fluorspar that is mined in Mongolia and China. The worldwide demand for this mineral has grown significantly, additionally, the supply has tightened. PTFE materials have high heat resistance, excellent chemical resistance and very low co-efficient of friction (slippery) and is utilized within a bunch of applications from non-stick fry pans to ptfe tape for use at home. This mineral is the crucial raw materials inside the production of fluoropolymers, fluorolubricants and quite a few refrigerants.This increase in demand joined together with general shortage of raw materials is mainly responsible for a dramatic price increase (almost double over the last year), shortages, and we expect both these factors to stay in affect in the near future.
