PTFE - Polytetrafluoroethylene product PTFE (TFE) and Kynar manufacturing requires a mineral called Fluorspar that is mined in Mongolia and China. The worldwide demand for this mineral has increased significantly, along with the supply has tightened. PTFE materials have high heat resistance, excellent chemical resistance and very low co-efficient of friction (slippery) and is utilised within dozens of applications from non-stick fry cookware to ptfe tape for personal use. This specific mineral is actually a crucial raw materials within the production of fluoropolymers, fluorolubricants and several refrigerants.This escalating demand mixed with general shortage of raw materials is mainly responsible for a dramatic price increase (almost double over the past year), shortages, and we expect these two factors to continue in the near future.
