PTFE (TFE) and PVDF both are experiencing long lead times.

PTFE - Polytetrafluoroethylene  product PTFE (TFE) as well as Kynar-PVDF  manufacturing requires a mineral called Fluorspar which is mined in Mongolia and China. The worldwide interest in this mineral has grown significantly, along with the supply has tightened. PTFE materials have high heat resistance, excellent chemical resistance and very low co-efficient of friction (slippery) and is used throughout tons of purposes from non-stick fry pots and pans to ptfe tape for use at home. This specific mineral is a important raw material inside the production of fluoropolymers, fluorolubricants and lots of refrigerants.This surge in demand combined with 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 continue in the near future.

Polytetraflouroethylene (TFE) and Kynar both are in short supply.

Teflon  product PTFE (TFE) as well as PVDF  manufacturing requires a mineral called Fluorspar which is mined in Mongolia and China. The worldwide need for 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 great deal of applications from non-stick fry cookware to ptfe tape for home use. This specific mineral is actually a critical raw material inside the manufacturing of fluoropolymers, fluorolubricants and several refrigerants.This increase in demand joined together with general shortage of raw materials has caused a dramatic price increase (almost double within the last year), shortages, and we expect these two factors to keep at it in the near future.

PTFE (TFE) and Kynar are both on allocation.

PTFE - Polytetrafluoroethylene  products, PTFE (TFE) along with PVDF  manufacturing requires a mineral called Fluorspar which is mined in Mongolia and China. The worldwide requirement for 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 (slippery) and is utilized throughout a bunch of purposes from non-stick fry kitchenware to ptfe tape for personal use. This mineral is a important raw material in the manufacturing of fluoropolymers, fluorolubricants and quite a few refrigerants.This escalating demand joined together with shortage of raw materials has caused a dramatic price increase (almost double over the past year), shortages, and we expect these two factors to stay in affect in the near future.
