TFE sheet products, PTFE (TFE) and also Kynar-PVDF manufacturing requires a mineral called Fluorspar which is mined in Mongolia and China. The world requirement for this mineral has grown significantly, additionally, the supply has tightened. PTFE materials have high temperature resistance, excellent chemical resistance and extremely low co-efficient of friction (slick) and is utilized throughout a good deal of applications from non-stick fry griddles to ptfe tape for home use. This specific mineral is the important raw material within the production of fluoropolymers, fluorolubricants and a lot of refrigerants.This increased demand combined with shortage of raw materials has caused a dramatic price increase (almost double during the last year), shortages, and we expect both these factors to stay in affect in the near future.
