Teflon (TFE) and PVDF both are on allocation.
PTFE - Polytetrafluoroethylene products, PTFE (TFE) and Kynar manufacturing requires a mineral called Fluorspar that's mined in Mongolia and China. The worldwide requirement for this mineral has risen significantly, additionally, the supply has tightened. PTFE materials have high heat resistance, excellent chemical resistance and really low co-efficient of friction (slick) and is utilized within a lot of purposes from non-stick fry pans to ptfe tape for use at home. This specific mineral is a key raw material in the production of fluoropolymers, fluorolubricants and many refrigerants.This increased demand joined together with general shortage of raw materials has caused a dramatic price increase (almost double in the last year), shortages, and we expect both these factors to stay in affect in the near future.
