XYLAN® Coating

Xylan® coating, originally developed by Whitford Corporation, is a fluoropolymer-based coating that can improve the surface properties of components and metal surfaces. It is commonly used for fasteners, especially for applications that expose the hardware to aggressive chemical environments. 

Industrial Xylan Coatings

Xylan coatings are applied as thin films, ensuring optimal threaded fastener performance both during and after installation. While you specify the right component material for weight and strength, these coatings will help products further resist corroding, seizing and galling for enhanced longevity. Xylan comes in a range of colors to support the efficient organization of fasteners and components.

It is an excellent solution for fasteners and components in the following industries:

  • Industrial: Xylan coatings offer wear and heat resistance, which are crucial characteristics for fasteners in high-intensity industrial applications. 
  • Automotive: With scatter reduction and load certainty, Xylan coatings provide reliable performance in the automotive industry and protect components in high-pressure applications. In addition, this coating creates low friction, reducing breakout torque to improve assembly line performance. 
  • Construction: The corrosion protection that components gain from Xylan coatings is crucial in the construction industry, where ground contact, exposure to weather and chemical exposure can all impact fastener performance. The nonstick and release properties can reduce friction and make assembling modular buildings or building components easier. 
  • Energy applications: The reduced friction and heat resistance offered by these coatings are also ideal for solar and wind energy installations, creating a dry-film lubricant finish and extended performance for fasteners exposed to the elements in remote locations. Xylan coatings can protect other components as well, extending lifespans and ensuring reliable power.

RIE Offers Xylan Coating Services

RIE offers solvent- and water-based coatings, including the Xylan 1000 series of solvent-borne, resin-bonded coating solutions in our facilities. We coat your fasteners in-house, with a 99.6% on-time delivery rate that shortens lead times and prevents delays. All our coatings for fasteners and other components are compliant with REACH and RoHS, designed to meet industry environmental regulatory standards while protecting your components even in harsh conditions. 

Our complete process includes pretreatment, the coating process itself and state-of-the-art curing for excellent results. We can coat a broad size range of components, using dip spin lines for bulk orders or rack and spray (hand spraying) for more specialized parts or more challenging geometries requiring better aesthetics or special handling.
