Xylan? Coating

Xylan? Coating

Almost every industry faces huge challenges with corrosion and chemical attack. Fluoropolymer coatings, particularly those from the Xylan? product range supplied by Whitford Corporation, can offer solutions for a multitude of applications, protecting critical components in harsh operational or natural environments. Typical items that can benefit from Xylan? coatings are fasteners, connectors, bearings, shafts, pressure control components, pump components, piping components, and even fabricated items.

Whether a problem requires corrosion resistance, reducing assembly torque, anti-galling or friction reduction, the Xylan? product family has a wide range of answers that offer improved performance and can allow the application less exotic metals, which has an obvious reduction in cost. The application of a fluoropolymer coating to fasteners can substantially reduce required make up torque and deliver far more reliable pre-tensioning during installation. Improper tightening of fasteners is a significant safety issue as it can lead to a weak joint or a fastener with the potential to work loose where vibration is present.

When correctly specified and applied, the outstanding corrosion resistance provided by this family of coatings will also ensure a longer life of the parts and easier removal during disassembly. Additional primers and pretreatments should almost always be used to inhibit corrosion by promoting the formation of a passive oxide layer on the surface of the metal. Some applicators are happy to cut corners by just applying the fluoropolymer top coating. This can allow the inherent pores or “pin-holes” in the coating to be a pathway for moisture or oxygen, allowing a corrosive reaction to take place under the coating. 

Coatings of Xylan? offer many benefits for every industry. These include resistance to corrosion and chemical attack, superb visibility, lower maintenance costs and less downtime. Bricco Metal Finishing can apply the entire range of Xylan? coatings offered by Whitford Corporation to fill any requirement needed. Our applicators have over 30 years of experience and set the standard for quality in the coating industry for Xylan? products. We have coating application experts that can answer your questions about these coatings and provide assistance with selection and specification. Bricco knows Xylan? better than anyone and we can offer quick deliveries to keep your schedule on track. We understand how important it is to get your coated part back on time when you must ship a high quality product on time. Bricco is your bridge to better coatings!

It can be, depending on the media and other application data. For applications in tanks for corrosion resistance, it is usually a great option.

Looks promising Keith! Is it equally effective in lining a new tank or stripping and recoating used pump housings. jus curious?
