描述
Xylan 4018 is a solvent-borne primer from Whitford Corporation (now PPG), specifically formulated for use under Xylan powder coatings and dispersions. As an authorized distributor and trader, we supply genuine materials with full traceability and direct access to official technical documentation.
Unlike Xylan 1010, 1014, or 1070, which are topcoat dry-film lubricants for metal substrates, or Xylan 4016 (silicone rubber primer), Xylan 4018 is a versatile primer designed to provide adhesion to a broad range of substrates including ceramic, metallic, plastic, and wood. It is engineered for use with Xylan 80-550 FEP and 80-510 PFA powder coatings, forming a durable two-coat system.
This primer is available as a high-build formulation with metallics, offering enhanced protection and aesthetic options. The Xylan 4018 primer provides abrasion, erosion, weather, heat, and chemical resistance, making it suitable for demanding industrial applications including automotive, OEM, and general industrial sectors.
