Why is there TFE and Kynar- PVDF extended delivery times
During the last year, the business has experienced more challenges than I have come across within my 30 years experience. In the past I have seen sharp price increases, and I have observed several shortages, and delivery issues due to material allocations by plastic resin companies. This is the very first time I have seen all these issues at the same time.
Polytetraflouroethylene (TFE) and Kynar - PVDF are both on allocation.
This pair of resins are in short supply. The PTFE Sheeting product PTFE (TFE) and PVDF manufacturing requires a mineral called Fluorspar which is mined in Mongolia and China. The worldwide need for this mineral has risen significantly, additionally, the supply has tightened. PTFE materials have high temperature resistance, excellent chemical resistance and really low co-efficient of friction (slick) and is utilized throughout a good deal of purposes from non-stick fry kitchenware to ptfe tape for personal use. This specific mineral is actually the crucial raw material in the production of fluoropolymers, fluorolubricants and several refrigerants.This increase in demand joined together with shortage of raw materials has caused 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.
