A Long History
Xylan has been used for many years in a wide variety of applications. Offering low-friction and reliable water resistance, this coating option is ideal for many industrial requirements.
The Benefits
What is it that makes Xylan such a popular option when looking at coating options? There are a number of reasons why this fluoropolymer can be extremely beneficial. As a dry film lubricant, it offers:
- Strong resistance to wear
- High heat resistance
- Protection from corrosion
- Controlled friction through lubrication
- Non-stick properties.
Xylan is a versatile material that can be tailored or customized depending on the requirements of the job while retaining its anti-corrosion and low-friction properties.
While allowing for non-stick use, it will also strongly adhere to the right surface, making it uniquely durable. It can be applied in an extremely thin layer, which can be vital when working with precise measurements.
