What's the reason for the TFE and Kynar extended delivery
Over the last year, the market has had more shortages than I've come across during my 3 decades experience. In the past I have seen sharp price increases, and I have experienced several shortages, and delivery problems due to plastic resin allocations coming from resin suppliers. This is actually the very first occasion I have seen all these issues at the same time.
PTFE (TFE) and PVDF both are on allocation.
These two resins are in short supply. The PTFE Sheeting product PTFE (TFE) as well as Kynar manufacturing requires a mineral called Fluorspar that is mined in Mongolia and China. The world demand for this mineral has grown significantly, and the supply has tightened. PTFE materials have high heat resistance, excellent chemical resistance and extremely low co-efficient of friction (slippery) and is utilized within dozens of applications from non-stick fry pans to ptfe tape for use at home. This particular mineral is actually the crucial raw material inside the production of fluoropolymers, fluorolubricants and a lot of refrigerants.This increased demand bundled with general shortage of raw materials has caused a dramatic price increase (almost double during the last year), shortages, and we expect both these factors to stay in affect in the near future.
When you are looking around for a plastic sheet distributor you will likewise intend to investigate the firm that you are handling to see to it that they are most likely to be around for a very long time. If you are going to be having a lot of issues with your plastic sheet supply you are going to intend to see to it that you are going to have the ability to count on them to continue to provide you with the premium product that you have actually come to expect, over the years.
