Xylan Coatings

Xylan® Coatings are a family of fluropolymer coatings, designed for use on machined components and fasteners to prevent corrosion and facilitate makeup torque. They are a waterborne/VOC compliant, resin bonded, thermally cured, single dry film lubricant. AFT is a Whitford (Xylan® ) Approved Oil Tools Applicator.

Operating temperature for continuous service ranges from -40° F to +360° F, and can survive up to +450° F intermittently. 

Xylan® coatings prevent leaks past thread - Pressure vessels, valves, pipe unions, storage tanks, reactors pipelines and other fluid containment equipment are often fitted with threaded plugs for inspection, pressure relief, filling or tapping.

Coatings on pipe plugs not only improve their performance and reliability but also make them easier to use. A thin film of Xylan® eliminates the PTFE tape normally wrapped around the threads to seal them. In addition, the corrosion protection and low-friction properties of the coating greatly reduce breakout torques, enabling users to remove the plugs at a later date without destroying them.  

MAKE-UP TORQUE WITH XYLAN®

AFT’s Fluoropolymer coatings have the lowest coefficient of friction of all known fastener coatings, which requires that make-up torque specifications be adjusted to compensate. You may see a reduction of make-up torque from 30 to 70 percent.
