The purpose of this blog is to identify chemical and
material shortages reported on the Internet.
The sources of the information reported here are primarily news releases
issued on the Internet. The issue period
of the news releases is June 2015.
Section I below lists those chemicals and materials that
were on the previous Chemical and Material Shortage Alert list and continue to
have news releases indicating they are in short supply. Click here to read the May
2015 Chemical and Material Shortage Alert list.
Section II lists the new chemicals and materials (not on the
May alert). Also provided is some explanation
for the shortage and geographical information.
This blog attempts to list only actual shortage situations – those shortages
that are being experienced during the period covered by the news releases. Chemicals and materials identified in news
releases as only being in danger of being in short supply status are not
listed.
