What is Xylan 1424?
Xylan (coating) is a fluoropolymer-based industrial coating, it is applied in a thin film to the target material to improve its durability and non-stick properties. Xylan® is known as a registered brand name for a type of fluoropolymer coating. Developed, trademarked, and marketed by the Whitford Worldwide Company (which PPG acquired in 2019)
According to the introduction by PPG,Xylan® 1424 Series coating is for High Temperature and Low Friction purpose.
XYLAN® 1424 is a line of waterborne, resin bonded high temperature resistant dry films, formulated to deliver a wide range of performance characteristics when used in multiple industrial applications. It Offers controlled low friction with excellent corrosion and chemical resistance, they are usable as a stand-alone solution or as part of an overall coating system.
Xylan 1424 is a premium high technology fluoropolymer coating system that has been engineered to provide exceptional corrosion protection. The system was developed to meet the
demand for improved protection in marine environments and provides a hard, durable uniform, low friction coating which is capable of continuous operation at temperature extremes.
Xylan 1424 is readily identifiable through its distinct blue colour.The coating system demonstrates exceptional adhesion and resists galling, blistering and chipping and will not crack or peel.The Xylan 1424 system is used extensively at petrochemical drilling sites, processing plants and water works industry to protect threaded fasteners, equipment and hardware from the effects of sub-sea and splash zone exposure, and the corrosives associated with processing petrochemical products. In addition, the uniform, low coefficient of friction of
the coating reduces ‘make-up’ and ‘break-out’ torque, ensuring that installation and subsequent removal of components is much simplified. These inherent ‘anti-seize’ properties are particularly important in isolated, fire hazard or confined spaces, as are often found in, for example, the petrochemical industry.
During the application of the Xylan 1424 system an inert barrier layer is bonded to the surface of the substrate being treated. This barrier provides a hard, clean surface finish that provides extremely long lasting protection against corrosion and weathering, and prevents electrochemical degradation.
Xylan 1424 system outperforms other finishes, including zinc/chromate, galvanising and cadmium plating.
Furthermore, the application process does not require the use of pickling or plating solutions thus eliminating the danger of hydrogen embrittlement which can weaken the metal substrate. As Xylan 1424 is waterborne it does not suffer from the environmental pollution problems associated with coatings containing cadmium, chromium and other toxic substances.
Xylan 1424 coating performance
XYLAN® 1424 coatings help improve performance and extend the life of components. This trusted technology protects from corrosion,chemicals and abrasion, as well as provides low-friction properties to improve release compared to uncoated parts.Xylan 1424 is a proven solution for use in many markets including Energy generation and Oil and Gas
Salt spray testing, or salt fog testing, is a standardized corrosion test used to evaluate the corrosion resistance of materials and coatings
You can find the TDS (Technical data sheet )of Xylan 1424 coating as below.Xylan 1424 can be applied as the top coating with Zinc plating or Zinc nickel plating or xylar as primer coating.(base coating)
Zinc Plating +Xylan 1424 could have good anti-rust performance,according to the testing result ,it can stand over 2500 hours of salt spray testing According to ASTM B117.
Zinc Nickel plating +Xylan 1424 has a better anti-rust performance,it can stand over 4000 hours of salt spray testing
If you want to have the best anti-rust performance coatings. Xylar coating (normally Xylar 2) + xylan 1424 coating is recommended .It can stand over 5000 hours of salt spray testing According to ASTM B117.
