Polytetraflouroethylene (TFE) and PVDF both are on allocation.
PTFE - Polytetrafluoroethylene products, PTFE (TFE) and also Kynar manufacturing requires a mineral called Fluorspar that's mined in Mongolia and China. The world interest in this mineral has grown significantly, and the supply has tightened. PTFE materials have high heat resistance, excellent chemical resistance and very low co-efficient of friction (slick) and is utilized within tons of purposes from non-stick fry pans to ptfe tape for home use. This specific mineral is actually a important raw material in the manufacturing of fluoropolymers, fluorolubricants and many refrigerants.This surge in demand paired with shortage of raw materials is mainly responsible for a dramatic price increase (almost double over the last year), shortages, and we expect these two factors to stay in affect in the near future.
