Why are there Teflon and PVDF are so expensice

Within the last year, the business has had more difficulties than I have seen inside my 30 years experience. In the past I have seen sharp price increases, and I have experienced several shortages, and delivery issues because of resin allocations through resin manufacturers. This is the very first time I have seen all these issues at one time.

PTFE Rod (TFE) and PVDF are both on allocation.

This pair of resins are in short supply. The  PTFE - Polytetrafluoroethylene product PTFE (TFE) as well as Kynar-PVDF  manufacturing requires a mineral called Fluorspar which is mined in Mongolia and China. The world interest in this mineral has increased significantly, additionally, the supply has tightened. PTFE materials have high temperature resistance, excellent chemical resistance and incredibly low co-efficient of friction (slick) and is utilised throughout a bunch of purposes from non-stick fry griddles to ptfe tape for use at home. This mineral is actually a essential raw materials within the manufacturing of fluoropolymers, fluorolubricants and several refrigerants.This increasing amount of demand coupled 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 continue in the near future.
