Whitfords Xylan / Xylar

Whitfords Xylan / Xylar

Accurate Edge is approved by Whitfords, a wholly-owned subsidiary of PPG, to apply a complete range of their high-performance Xylan® and Xylar® coatings. We work closely with Whitfords to ensure adherence to their specifications and specific customer requirements, to continually improve our quality and application techniques.

Xylan® coatings have a broad range of properties. Lubricants with the lowest-known coefficient of friction are combined with the newest high temperature resistant organic or Aqueous polymers to create Xylan® coatings. Together these ingredients form unique properties:

  • Wide operating temperature range, from –195 C to +260 C
  • Excellent corrosion and chemical resistance
  • Excellent adhesion properties
  • Low coefficient of friction
  • Excellent wear resistance
  • Flexible curing schedule
  • Wide colour range

The result is a thin, continuous, protective barrier that resists galling, abrasion, corrosive environments, chemical resistance, dry film lubrication, wear resistance, torque control, non-stick and a wide range of low and high temperatures.

Xylan® 1052 – Ideal for any mating surface that needs dry lubrication e.g. bearings, sealing rings and valve springs. With a continues operating temperature of -195°C to +260°C and a intermittent range of -195°C to +285°C. Whitfords 1052 is an Organic solvent based, high temperature, general purpose coating for extreme pressure applications up to 150,000 PSI. Typical DFT coating 15 – 20 um, available in a wide range of colours.

Xylan® 1070 – Typical applications of 1070 includes threaded fasteners and nuts with a continues operating temperature of -195°C to +260°C and an intermittent range of -195°C to +285°C. Whitfords 1070 is an Organic solvent based, low friction coating normally used over Zinc, Phosphate or other pretreatment to achieve up to 3000 hours salt spray resistance. Typical DFT coating 20 – 25 um, available in a wide range of colours.

Xylan® 1424 – Typical applications are threaded fasteners and nuts with a continuous operating temperature of -20°C to +180°C and an intermittent range of -20°C to +230°C. Whitfords 1424 is an Aqueous based, dry lubricant coating normally used over Zinc / Phosphate or other pretreatment with excellent corrosion resistance properties. Typical DFT coating 20 – 25 um, available in a wide range of colours.

Xylan® 1425 – Ideal for any mating surface that needs dry lubrication. With a continues operating temperature of -20°C to +175°C and an intermittent range of -20°C to +230°C. Whitfords 1425 is an Aqueous based, resin bonded coating formulated for high pressure low speed wear applications, for extreme pressure applications up to 150,000 PSI (10,500 kg/cm2). Typical DFT coating 15 – 20 um, available in a wide range of colours.

Xylar® 1 & 2 – Typical applications for Xylar coatings provide the aerospace, engineering and marine industries with materials to protect components from high temperature oxidation, salt laden atmospheres, chemicals and abrasives. With a continues operating temperature range of -40°C to +535°C Xylar is a Aqueous / acidic based aluminum “cermet” coating which as excellent chemical, corrosion and abrasion resistance at extreme temperatures. Typical DFT coating 20 – 25 um.
