Xylan Coating
Xylan Coating
Xylan coating is a high-performance fluoropolymer-based dry-film lubricant designed to reduce friction, resist wear, and protect metal surfaces from corrosion and chemicals. It is made by combining PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene) and other fluoropolymers with high-temperature resins, creating a tough, thin, and durable protective layer. The coating is typically applied to metal parts and cured at high temperatures, forming a strong bond that can withstand extreme working conditions.
Xylan coatings are widely used in the oil & gas, marine, automotive, chemical, and engineering industries because of their excellent ability to perform under pressure, temperature, and corrosive environments. The coating provides long-term protection for fasteners, bolts, valves, pumps, shafts, and other moving parts where lubrication and corrosion resistance are essential. Its thin-film nature (usually 20–30 microns) ensures that part dimensions and tolerances remain unaffected while improving surface performance.
Key Advantages
- Low Friction Surface: Reduces wear and galling, ensuring smooth operation without lubrication.
- Superior Corrosion Resistance: Protects metals from rust, salt spray, and aggressive chemicals.
- High Temperature Resistance: Performs effectively between -195°C and +260°C.
- Excellent Wear and Abrasion Resistance: Increases the life of mechanical parts under continuous use.
- Chemical and UV Resistant: Suitable for both indoor and outdoor environments.
- Thin, Uniform Coating: Maintains dimensional accuracy and surface smoothness.
Applications
- Bolts, nuts, and fasteners (anti-seize protection)
- Valves, pumps, and actuators (corrosion and friction control)
- Shafts, bearings, and gears (wear reduction)
- Marine and offshore equipment (salt and chemical resistance)
- Industrial molds, tools, and machinery components
