Why is there Teflon Products and Kynar- PVDF extended delivery
In the last year, the market has experienced more allocations than I've come across inside my 30 years experience. In the past I have seen sharp price increases, and I have witnessed several shortages, and delivery issues due to plastic resin allocations through plastic resin manufacturers. This is actually the very first instance I have seen all these issues at one time.
PTFE Sheet (TFE) and Kynar are both on allocation.
These two resins are in short supply. The PTFE Sheet suppliers product PTFE (TFE) as well as PVDF manufacturing requires a mineral called Fluorspar that's mined in Mongolia and China. The worldwide demand for this mineral has risen significantly, and also the supply has tightened. PTFE materials have high heat resistance, excellent chemical resistance and really low co-efficient of friction (slick) and is utilized throughout a lot of purposes from non-stick fry kitchenware to ptfe tape for use at home. This particular mineral is a essential raw material within the manufacturing of fluoropolymers, fluorolubricants and many refrigerants.This rise in demand joined together with general shortage of raw materials is responsible for a dramatic price increase (almost double within the last year), shortages, and we expect these two factors to stay in affect in the near future.
