描述
Xylan 8106 is a low-friction, PTFE-based dry film lubricant coating from Whitford Corporation (now PPG), classified as a fastener-grade coating . As an authorized distributor and trader, we supply genuine materials with full traceability and direct access to official technical documentation.
Xylan 8106 is part of the Xylan family of composite fluoropolymer coatings that combine PTFE with reinforcing resin systems to deliver low friction, wear resistance, and corrosion protection in a single thin-film application . The coating is specifically designed for threaded fasteners and hardware components requiring controlled friction and corrosion protection .
Xylan 8106 provides a dry-film lubricant that reduces friction and prevents galling on threaded assemblies, eliminating the need for oils or greases in many applications . The coating also offers excellent corrosion and chemical resistance, making it suitable for demanding industrial environments including automotive, oil & gas, and general manufacturing .
Key Features of Xylan 8106 Coating
-
Low Coefficient of Friction – Reduces make-up torque by up to 70%; prevents galling and seizing on threaded fasteners
-
Dry-Film Lubricity – Provides permanent lubrication without oils or greases; eliminates reapplication needs
-
Excellent Corrosion Resistance – Salt spray resistance from 1,500 to 4,000 hours (ASTM B117)
-
Chemical Resistance – Resists water, acids, bases, solvents, and aggressive chemicals
-
Wide Temperature Range – Operates from -195°C to +260°C (-320°F to 500°F)
-
Wear Resistance – Reinforced resin systems improve durability under sliding contact and repeated use
-
Thin-Film Application – Applies in controlled thickness (20–30 μm) without significantly affecting part dimensions
-
Excellent Adhesion – Achieves 4B–5B adhesion to properly prepared substrates
-
Substrate Versatility – Can be applied to metals, plastics, and composites

Processing Guidelines for Xylan 8106 Coating
| Step | Process |
|---|---|
| Surface Preparation | Degrease → grit-blast (Sa2.5, Ra 1.5–4.0 μm) → optional phosphate pretreatment for steel |
| Coating Preparation | Low-speed mechanical stirring; dilute with recommended solvent |
| Application | Spray (conventional or HVLP), dip, or dip-spin coating |
| Curing | Follow manufacturer specifications; typically 200–400°C depending on formulation |
| 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.
Curing: Cure temperature depends on formulation and substrate; part mass and oven characteristics determine exact time. Always verify with test pieces.
Storage: Store in original, sealed containers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
