Awarded to a select group of companies, Whitford recognises the consistently high standards that Technicoat meet in the application of fluoropolymer products, specifically their range of Xylan coating systems.
Of the various products offered into the offshore, industrial bakeware and automotive industrial sectors, Whitford’s Xylan coatings are prominent within Technicoat’s offerings. High-performance, dry-film lubricants, Xylan coatings offer unique properties when compared to alternative fluoropolymer coatings, due to their specific design: properties aligned to meet particular requirements for surface treatment.
Offshore Industry
Xylan coatings are typically applied to fasteners; oil and gas subsea and surface equipment; and conveyor belts. Application suitability is identified through the properties of the Xylan coating systems:
– High corrosion resistance to saltwater and aggressive chemicals
– Dry film lubrication and low friction for metal seals
– Torque tension for stud bolts
Industrial Bakeware Industry
Xylan coatings are typically applied to a range of industrial bakeware parts from trays and straps, to moulds and hoppers. Designed to specific standards they are FDA/EU approved and carry the benefits outlined below:
– Easy release and cleaning of built-up sediment
– Corrosion resistant and resistant to high temperatures – up to 260˚C
– Good abrasion resistance
Automotive Industry
Surface treatment for mass-produced parts to enhance the surface properties of industrial components have seen Xylan coatings used on a range of applications; from bolts to springs; lock mechanisms to hinges; and steering columns to shock absorbers. Having a defined coefficient of friction, Xylan dry film lubricants offer a range of benefits:
– Corrosion and chemical resistance
– Electrical non-conductivity
– Non-stick/non-wetting
– Very low noise
Recognising the variances of industrial coatings, Martin Kortus, Managing Director of Technicoat details:
