What caused the Teflon and PVDF extended delivery

Throughout the last year, the industry has experienced more difficulties than I've come across inside my 30 years experience. In the past I have seen sharp price increases, and I have observed several shortages, and delivery issues as a result of plastic resin allocations coming from resin vendors. This is actually the first instance I have seen all these issues at the same time.

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

This pair of resins are in short supply. The  PTFE Sheet suppliers product PTFE (TFE) as well as PVDF  manufacturing requires a mineral called Fluorspar that's mined in Mongolia and China. The worldwide interest in this mineral has grown significantly, as well as the supply has tightened. PTFE materials have high temperature resistance, excellent chemical resistance and incredibly low co-efficient of friction (slick) and is utilised within tons of applications from non-stick fry griddles to ptfe tape for home use. This specific mineral is a critical raw material in the production of fluoropolymers, fluorolubricants and a lot of refrigerants.This surge in demand mixed with shortage of raw materials is mainly responsible for a dramatic price increase (almost double in the last year), shortages, and we expect both these factors to keep at it in the near future.
