The world demand for this mineral has risen significantly, additionally, the supply has tightened. PTFE materials have high heat resistance, excellent chemical resistance and really low co-efficient of friction (slippery) and is utilized within a great deal of applications from non-stick fry kitchenware to ptfe tape for personal use. This mineral is the essential raw material within the production of fluoropolymers, fluorolubricants and a lot of refrigerants.This surge in demand combined with general shortage of raw materials is responsible for a dramatic price increase (almost double over the last year), shortages, and we expect these two factors to stay in affect in the near future.
