Xylan® Coating Services

Xylan® Coatings are a family of fluoropolymer coatings designed for use on various types of OEM components and fasteners to prevent corrosion and increase the life of the product. Most Xylan® coatings contain PTFE or other types of lubricants and are applied in thin films. Scroll down to see the Xylan coating services we offer and their individual uses.

Industrial Xylan® Coating services solve the problems created when the ideal material for use in engineering construction has the wrong surface properties. Parts made from materials with the optimum strength, weight, and cost may still corrode, seize, or gall. Xylan® coated bolts provide a working surface, tailored to the application. Additionally, using industrial Xylan® coated bolts allows for reduced breakout torques due to its anti-corrosion and low-friction properties.

Frequently Asked Questions 

What is Xylan coating, and what are its benefits?

Xylan coating is a type of industrial coating that combines high-performance resins and fluoropolymer lubricants to form a smooth, durable film. Xylan coatings provide exceptional corrosion resistance, chemical resistance, reduced friction, and nonstick properties, making them ideal for enhancing the performance and longevity of fasteners and other industrial components.

How does Xylan coating compare to other industrial coating services?

Xylan coatings offer distinct advantages over traditional coatings. They provide a low coefficient of friction, excellent wear resistance, and can withstand harsh chemical environments. Compared to other industrial coating services, Xylan coatings often deliver superior performance in terms of chemical protection and reduced maintenance needs.

Can Xylan coatings be used on fasteners?

Yes, Xylan coatings are particularly effective for fasteners. They reduce the likelihood of galling and seizing, facilitate easy assembly and disassembly, and enhance the corrosion resistance of fasteners exposed to aggressive environments. This makes them a preferred choice in industries such as oil and gas, petrochemical, and construction.

What industries benefit most from Xylan coatings?

Xylan coatings are widely used across various industries, including oil and gas, petrochemical, automotive, and aerospace. Their ability to withstand extreme temperatures and resist chemical attack makes them suitable for applications that demand high durability and reliability.

What performance characteristics can I expect from Xylan coatings?

Xylan coatings offer a low static coefficient of friction, excellent salt-spray resistance, and dependable chemical resistance. These coatings typically perform well in temperature ranges from -100°F to 500°F, maintaining their protective qualities even under thermal cycling conditions.

How are Xylan coatings applied?

Xylan coatings are applied in thin, uniform layers, typically ranging from 0.0005" to 0.002". This ensures that coated components retain their original fit and mechanical properties while gaining added protection and performance enhancements.
