Whitford Xylan® Fluoropolymer Coating
Low-Friction, Anti-Galling Coating for Fasteners and Industrial Components
Fukar provides Xylan fluoropolymer coating services for components that require low friction, controlled torque-tension behavior, and improved corrosion performance. Xylan systems are widely specified for industrial fasteners, valves, and mechanical components in demanding operating environments.
Our coating process is managed under ISO 9001:2015 quality systems, with qualified application controls for Whitford and PPG programs. Fukar is a Whitford Quality Approved Coater and a PPG Quality Approved Coater, serving Malaysian and regional manufacturing supply chains.
For severe-service fastener projects, Fukar has delivered large-scale coating programs including the PNG LNG project, where Xylar 2 and Xylan 1424 systems were applied across 200+ tonnes of components.
Performance Highlights
Why Engineers Specify Xylan Coating
Low Friction & Anti-Galling
Reduces seizing and galling in threaded assemblies, improving installation reliability in field conditions.
Corrosion & Chemical Resistance
Provides barrier protection in corrosive and chemically exposed environments when system and topcoat are specified correctly.
Temperature Capability up to 260°C
Suitable for elevated-temperature operating zones depending on Xylan grade and service profile.
Technical Reference
Xylan Coating Specification Snapshot
Xylan coating selection depends on substrate, required coefficient of friction, corrosion target, and operating temperature. Requirements are confirmed during technical review before production.
Our team can align process output to your drawing notes and quality documentation requirements.

How It Works
Xylan Fluoropolymer Coating Process Flow
1. Pre-cleaning
Degreasing and cleaning remove oils and contaminants before coating application.
2. Surface Preparation
Surface preparation ensures clean substrate profile and adhesion readiness.
3. Xylan Application
Spray application builds controlled coating film thickness to specification.
4. Thermal Curing
Coated parts are oven-cured to achieve adhesion, hardness, and performance properties.
5. Drying
Parts are dried and handled using controlled finishing procedures.
6. Final QA
Final checks for thickness, appearance, and process compliance records.
Common Questions
Xylan Coating FAQ
Answers to common specification and application questions from engineering and procurement teams.
Ask a Technical QuestionWhat is Xylan coating used for?
Xylan coating is used to improve lubricity, reduce galling, and provide corrosion protection for fasteners and industrial components.
What is the difference between Xylan and fluoropolymer coating?
Xylan is a branded Whitford fluoropolymer system that can include fluoropolymer with engineered binders and additives. fluoropolymer coating is a broader generic category.
What temperature can Xylan coating withstand?
Many Xylan systems are rated for continuous service up to around 260°C, depending on the selected grade and operating conditions.
Does Fukar hold Whitford and PPG coating approvals?
Yes. Fukar holds Whitford QAC (Malaysia & Thailand) and PPG Quality Approved Coater status, with ISO 9001:2015 quality control systems.
Where is Xylan fluoropolymer coating commonly used?
Common applications include oil and gas fasteners, automotive hardware, valves, and industrial components requiring low friction and corrosion control.
