描述
Xylan 1270 is a solvent-based, PTFE-based dry film lubricant coating from Whitford Corporation (now PPG), known for its super hardness, exceptional wear resistance, and outstanding corrosion protection . As an authorized distributor and trader, we supply genuine materials with full traceability and direct access to official technical documentation .
Unlike Xylan 1010 (general lubricity), Xylan 1014 (hardness-focused), Xylan 1052 (extreme pressure with MoS₂), Xylan 1070 (general-purpose fastener coating), and Xylan 1088 (reinforced high-speed wear), Xylan 1270 is a super hard, ultra-wear-resistant coating specifically designed for demanding environments requiring both high hardness and excellent corrosion protection . It is the European version of the Xylan 1400 series and serves as a cost-effective alternative to Xylan 1070, though with reduced lubricity .
Xylan 1270 is engineered for high-performance applications where components are exposed to extreme mechanical stress, high temperatures, and aggressive chemical environments. The coating delivers ultra-low friction as low as 0.02, significantly reducing wear and energy consumption . When applied with a primer system (e.g., Xylan® 2), it achieves salt spray resistance up to 5,000 hours, providing exceptional corrosion protection .
This coating performs reliably from -250°C to 285°C and offers excellent resistance to acids, bases, solvents, and aggressive chemicals . Typical applications include aerospace components, oil & gas equipment, automotive fasteners, and heavy machinery parts requiring superior hardness, wear resistance, and corrosion protection .

Processing Guidelines for Xylan 1270 Coating
| Step | Process |
|---|---|
| Surface Preparation | Alkaline cleaning or acetone degreasing + grit-blast (Sa2.5 grade, Ra 3–6 μm) |
| Primer Application (Recommended) | Apply Xylan® 2 primer, dry film thickness 2.5–5 μm, cure at 380°C for 5–10 minutes |
| Topcoat Application | Apply Xylan 1270 by spray (conventional or HVLP) or dip coating |
| Curing | Cure at 380–425°C for 10–20 minutes; alternative low-temperature cure available for heat-sensitive substrates |
| Storage | Store in original, sealed containers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Shelf life: 18 months |
Critical Processing Warnings:
Surface Preparation: Proper surface preparation is critical for adhesion. Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and properly roughened to Sa2.5 grade, Ra 3–6 μm .
Primer Application: Xylan 1270 requires a primer (Xylan® 2) for optimal adhesion and maximum corrosion protection (up to 5,000 hours salt spray). Primer dry film thickness should be 2.5–5 μm .
Curing: Cure temperature range: 380–425°C for 10–20 minutes. Alternative low-temperature cure options available for heat-sensitive substrates. Cure time depends on part mass and oven characteristics. Always verify with test pieces .
Storage: Store in original, sealed containers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
