How come there's a TFE and PVDF extended delivery

Throughout the last year, the market has had more allocations than I have seen inside my thirty years experience. In the past I have seen sharp price increases, and I have observed several shortages, and delivery problems as a result of resin allocations coming from resin companies. This is the very first occasion I have seen all these issues at the same time.

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

The two of these resins are in short supply. The  PTFE Sheet product PTFE (TFE) as well as PVDF  manufacturing requires a mineral called Fluorspar which is mined in Mongolia and China. The worldwide need for this mineral has grown significantly, as well as the supply has tightened. PTFE materials have high temperature resistance, excellent chemical resistance and extremely low co-efficient of friction (slick) and is utilised in a great deal of applications from non-stick fry pans to ptfe tape for home use. This particular mineral is actually a essential raw materials inside the manufacturing of fluoropolymers, fluorolubricants and many refrigerants.This increasing amount of demand coupled with general shortage of raw materials is 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.
