Xylan Is a Fluoropolymer Coating System for Corrosion + Low Friction
Xylan coating is a fluoropolymer-based coating system applied to metal parts to reduce friction, improve corrosion resistance, and prevent galling on threaded components. It is widely used where fasteners, valves, and hardware must keep reliable assembly performance in harsh industrial operating environments.
Core Properties Engineers Look For
Low Friction
Supports smoother tightening behavior and helps reduce seizing on threaded assemblies.
Corrosion Protection
Acts as a barrier layer to extend component life in humid and corrosive environments.
Anti-Galling
Often selected for bolting programs where repeated makeup and break-out are expected.
How Teams Typically Select Xylan Grades
Xylan is not a single formulation. Different systems are chosen based on the substrate, target corrosion performance, operating temperature, and torque-control requirements.
- Fastener-focused systems for anti-galling and controlled makeup torque
- Higher durability systems for offshore or process-industry duty
- Application-specific formulas based on project specification callouts
