描述
Xylan 8160 is a fastener-grade, PTFE-based dry film lubricant coating from Whitford Corporation (now PPG), specifically formulated for threaded fasteners and hardware applications . As an authorized distributor and trader, we supply genuine materials with full traceability and direct access to official technical documentation.
The Xylan 16000 Series, which includes Xylan 8160, is a family of solvent- and waterborne, resin-bonded anti-friction coatings formulated to deliver a wide range of performance characteristics in various applications . These coatings provide controlled low friction, wear resistance, anti-stick/slip properties, and very good chemical resistance, with excellent adhesion to metals and a very wide in-service temperature range .
Xylan 8160 is specifically classified as a fastener-grade coating, providing low friction and excellent corrosion resistance for threaded components . The coating is designed for use on fasteners, pumps, pistons, molds, dies, and compressor parts where low friction, corrosion resistance, or non-stick properties are required .

Important Notes on Typical Data:
Values listed are typical and sourced from manufacturer data sheets and technical references . They do not constitute binding product specification.
Batch-to-batch deviations may exist. For critical applications, validate performance with batch-specific COA certificate.
Final performance depends on substrate preparation, application method, and curing conditions.
Manufacturer official TDS shall serve as definitive technical reference. Request the latest official TDS from our sales team.
Processing Guidelines for Xylan 8160 Coating
| Step | Process |
|---|---|
| Surface Preparation | Degrease → grit-blast (Sa2.5, Ra 1.5–4.0 μm) → zinc phosphate pretreatment recommended for carbon steel |
| Coating Preparation | Low-speed mechanical stirring; dilute with recommended solvent |
| Application | Spray (conventional, HVLP, or electrostatic), 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. Zinc phosphate pretreatment is recommended for carbon steel to maximize corrosion resistance .
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.
