Xylan® Coated Bolts

Xylan® coating is a fluoropolymer coating that increases the life of fasteners and fastener components. This versatile coating addresses various engineering needs and solves surface property issues by providing a working surface tailored for the application. Xylan® coatings are a composite material that come in a wide variety of formulas and colors. Each formulation offers unique performance properties that are extremely beneficial in aggressive environments and harsh conditions, such as the aerospace and oil and gas industries. This family of industrial coatings is also preferred by the engineering and construction industries, because they are easy to use, offer excellent versatility for use in a wide range of applications, and easily produced.

Xylan® coated bolts, studs, screws, and other fastener types maintain their required dimensional tolerances while offering extraordinarily low coefficients of friction, excellent corrosion protection, and good chemical resistance. For example, Xylan® coated fasteners are used to protect valves, pumps, and hydraulic systems in the oil and gas and chemical-producing industries. It also offers excellent lubricity to reduce friction, prevent wear and galling, and provide additional lubrication in high-load, high-pressure applications. Also, it is flame retardant, which makes it extremely useful in high-temperature applications.

Xylan® coated fasteners offer the following benefits and advantages:

• Improves functionality and lifespan of the product
• Excellent corrosion and chemical resistance
• Enhanced lubricity for long-lasting friction resistance
• Increases thermal stability and heat resistance
• Improves anti-galling and anti-abrasion properties
• Excellent non-stock and release properties
• Superb wear resistance under extreme pressure and aggressive conditions
• Thin coating that offers increased durability without affecting dimensional tolerances
• Available in a wide range of colors and formulations
• Pliable coating that will bend without breaking
• Provides excellent adhesion to most metals and surfaces
