PTFE - Polytetrafluoroethylene product PTFE (TFE) along with Kynar-PVDF manufacturing requires a mineral called Fluorspar which is mined in Mongolia and China. The worldwide demand for this mineral has risen significantly, additionally, the supply has tightened. PTFE materials have high heat resistance, excellent chemical resistance and incredibly low co-efficient of friction (slippery) and is utilised throughout tons of applications from non-stick fry pots and pans to ptfe tape for personal use. This mineral is a essential raw materials in the manufacturing of fluoropolymers, fluorolubricants and lots of refrigerants.This increasing amount of demand linked with general shortage of raw materials is mainly responsible for a dramatic price increase (almost double over the last year), shortages, and we expect these two factors to keep at it in the near future.
