Different Xylan Products

 

Popular Xylan products

 

Xylan is a brand name for a group of Fluropolymer coatings which typically blend high performance resins with a fluoropolmer lubricant such as PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene). Xylan coatings are smooth and slick in nature providing a uniform finish in a range of colours, different Models are suited for different applications and here are a few of the more popular.

 

Xylan 1010

 

Xylan 1010 is a very versatile dry lubricant containing PTFE. It abrasion resistance and suitable for high temperature and corrosive environments. It can be used on any surface likely to encounter wear but is most popular on components including Threaded Fasteners, Vales, Rotors and Pistons.

 

Xylan 1052

 

Xylan 1052 is formulated to prevent wear on mating surfaces. It’s able to work in high contact pressure, low speed applications and will provide long term lubrication for bearing surfaces. It can withstand chemically corrosive environments and is used on applications such as Bearings, Sealing Rings, Valve Springs and other offshore applications. Xylan 1052 is able to perform in high temperature environments.

 

Xylan 1400

 

Xylan 1400 is formulated for components that require a level of corrosion resistance. Dimensional tolerances do not permit a thick film, but Xylan 1400 is able to resist acid rain, weathering as well as chemically corrosive environments. Although it does contain some PTFE, it is considered a barrier coating as opposed to a dry-film lubricant. Typical applications include large Fasteners and threaded components used in Oil & Gas and Petrochemical applications.
