Xylan Coating
Xylan is the largest, most complete line of fluoropolymer coatings in the worlds. Xylan coatings have a broad range of properties, which make them ideal for an infinite variety of applications. Xylan/PTFE coating on Bolts, Studs & Nuts is an ideal protestion in corrosive environments, salt water condition & specially for splash zone. Xylan coatings differ from traditional fluoropolymer coatings in one very important aspect: they are composite materials. Lubricants with the lowest-known coefficient of friction are combined with the newest high-temperature-resistant organic polymers. Xylan coatings, particularly the formulation made with PTFE, offer a simple solution to the problem. Xylan is an excellent corrosion barrier, even if applied in a thin film. Most formulations form functional films at about 25 microns.
In ASTM - B - 117 salt spray test, Xylan / PTFE coating along with suitable pre-treatment of Zinc or Cadmium provides a minimum 100 hrs. & maximum upto 4000 hrs. protection. This coating combat the severe corrosion that affect the massive studs & nuts on oil drilling rigs & petrochemicals processing equipments, as well as other items associated with the chemical processing industry. These coatings also permit the use of less expensive & stronger metal in place of stainless steel & other more exotic and costly materials. Xylan's versatility is best demonstrated as a coating for stud bolts and nuts, where it provides unparalleled performance in ease of installation, resistance to corrosion and ease of removal
