PTFE - Polytetrafluoroethylene product PTFE (TFE) and also PVDF manufacturing requires a mineral called Fluorspar which is mined in Mongolia and China. The worldwide demand for this mineral has risen significantly, as well as the supply has tightened. PTFE materials have high heat resistance, excellent chemical resistance and really low co-efficient of friction (slippery) and is utilized in tons of applications from non-stick fry cookware to ptfe tape for home use. This specific mineral is a essential raw materials inside the production of fluoropolymers, fluorolubricants and several refrigerants.This escalating demand combined with general shortage of raw materials is responsible for a dramatic price increase (almost double in the last year), shortages, and we expect these two factors to continue in the near future.
