What is causing the PTFE and PVDF extended delivery

Throughout the last year, the business has experienced more challenges than I have seen in my thirty years experience. In the past I have seen sharp price increases, and I have experienced several shortages, and delivery delays caused by resin allocations coming from plastic resin manufacturers. This is definitely the very first occasion I have seen all these issues at one time.

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

Both of these resins are in short supply. The  PTFE Sheet product PTFE (TFE) as well as PVDF  manufacturing requires a mineral called Fluorspar that is mined in Mongolia and China. The world demand for this mineral has increased significantly, and also the supply has tightened. PTFE materials have high temperature resistance, excellent chemical resistance and really low co-efficient of friction (slick) and is used in a good deal of applications from non-stick fry griddles to ptfe tape for use at home. This mineral is actually a essential raw materials within the production of fluoropolymers, fluorolubricants and a lot of refrigerants.This increase in demand combined 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.
