PTFE (TFE) and Kynar are both on allocation.
Teflon product PTFE (TFE) and also Kynar manufacturing requires a mineral called Fluorspar that is mined in Mongolia and China. The worldwide interest in this mineral has grown significantly, and also the supply has tightened. PTFE materials have high heat resistance, excellent chemical resistance and incredibly low co-efficient of friction (slick) and is utilized throughout a good deal of purposes from non-stick fry pots and pans to ptfe tape for personal use. This specific mineral is actually a key raw materials within the production of fluoropolymers, fluorolubricants and several refrigerants.This rise in demand combined with shortage of raw materials is responsible for a dramatic price increase (almost double throughout the last year), shortages, and we expect these two factors to stay in affect in the near future.
