What caused the Teflon Products and Kynar extended delivery times

In the last year, the industry has had more allocations than I've come across within my 30 years experience. In the past I have seen sharp price increases, and I have seen several shortages, and delivery delays because of resin allocations coming from resin suppliers. This is the very first occasion I have seen all these issues at the same time.

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

This pair of resins are in short supply. The  PTFE - Polytetrafluoroethylene product PTFE (TFE) as well as PVDF  manufacturing requires a mineral called Fluorspar that is mined in Mongolia and China. The world interest in this mineral has grown significantly, and the supply has tightened. PTFE materials have high temperature resistance, excellent chemical resistance and extremely low co-efficient of friction (slick) and is used within a bunch of applications from non-stick fry pans to ptfe tape for personal use. This specific mineral is actually the crucial raw materials inside the manufacturing of fluoropolymers, fluorolubricants and lots of refrigerants.This increase in demand mixed with shortage of raw materials has caused a dramatic price increase (almost double over the past year), shortages, and we expect both these factors to keep at it in the near future.

When you are shopping around for a plastic sheet distributor you will also intend to investigate the business that you are dealing with to ensure that they are most likely to be around for a very long time. If you are most likely to be having a lot of problems with your plastic sheet supply you are most likely to want to ensure that you are going to be able to count on them to continue to provide you with the premium product that you have actually come to anticipate, over the years.
