What is causing the TFE and Kynar- PVDF extended delivery

Over the last year, the industry 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 problems stemming from resin allocations coming from resin companies. This is actually the very first occasion I have seen all these issues at the same time.

PTFE Sheet (TFE) and Kynar are both on allocation.

The two of these resins are in short supply. The  PTFE Sheeting product PTFE (TFE) as well as PVDF  manufacturing requires a mineral called Fluorspar that's mined in Mongolia and China. The worldwide interest in this mineral has increased significantly, and also the supply has tightened. PTFE materials have high temperature resistance, excellent chemical resistance and very low co-efficient of friction (slippery) and is utilised throughout a good deal of purposes from non-stick fry cookware to ptfe tape for home use. This particular mineral is actually a important raw material in the manufacturing of fluoropolymers, fluorolubricants and several refrigerants.This surge in demand bundled with shortage of raw materials has caused a dramatic price increase (almost double during the last year), shortages, and we expect these two factors to keep at it in the near future.
