Over the past year, the market has had more allocations than I have seen in my 30 years experience. In the past I have seen sharp price increases, and I have witnessed several shortages, and delivery problems stemming from material allocations coming from resin manufacturers. This is actually the first occasion I have seen all these issues at the same time. Polytetraflouroethylene (TFE) and Kynar - PVDF are both on allocation. Both of these resins are in short supply. The  PTFE Sheeting product PTFE (TFE) as well as Kynar  manufacturing requires a mineral called Fluorspar that is mined in Mongolia and China. The world need for this mineral has risen significantly, and also the supply has tightened. PTFE materials have high heat resistance, excellent chemical resistance and extremely low co-efficient of friction (slippery) and is used in a good deal of purposes from non-stick fry pans to ptfe tape for personal use. This particular mineral is actually a critical raw materials inside the...

In the last year, the industry has experienced more difficulties than I have come across inside my three decades experience. In the past I have seen sharp price increases, and I have observed several shortages, and delivery problems stemming from material allocations coming from plastic resin suppliers.

The  PTFE Sheeting product PTFE (TFE) and also Kynar  manufacturing requires a mineral called Fluorspar that is mined in Mongolia and China. The world demand for this mineral has increased significantly, additionally, the supply has tightened. PTFE materials have high heat resistance, excellent chemical resistance and incredibly low co-efficient of friction (slick) and is utilised in a great deal of applications from non-stick fry griddles to ptfe tape for use at home. This particular mineral is the crucial ra...
