TFE sheet products, PTFE (TFE) and also Kynar-PVDF manufacturing requires a mineral called Fluorspar which is mined in Mongolia and China. The world interest in this mineral has increased significantly, along with the supply has tightened. PTFE materials have high heat resistance, excellent chemical resistance and really low co-efficient of friction (slick) and is utilized within a bunch of applications from non-stick fry cookware to ptfe tape for home use. This particular mineral is actually the crucial raw materials in the manufacturing of fluoropolymers, fluorolubricants and several refrigerants.This increasing amount of demand paired with shortage of raw materials is responsible for a dramatic price increase (almost double over the past year), shortages, and we expect both these factors to stay in affect in the near future.
