PTFE - Polytetrafluoroethylene product PTFE (TFE) along with Kynar manufacturing requires a mineral called Fluorspar that's mined in Mongolia and China. The worldwide interest in this mineral has grown significantly, and the supply has tightened. PTFE materials have high heat resistance, excellent chemical resistance and really low co-efficient of friction (slick) and is utilised in tons of purposes from non-stick fry kitchenware to ptfe tape for personal use. This mineral is actually the key raw material within the production of fluoropolymers, fluorolubricants and many refrigerants.This increase in demand combined with shortage of raw materials is mainly responsible for a dramatic price increase (almost double within the past year), shortages, and we expect these two factors to keep at it in the near future.
