描述
Xylan 8920 is an FEP-based fluoropolymer nonstick coating from Whitford Corporation (now PPG). As an authorized distributor and trader, we supply genuine materials with full traceability and direct access to official technical documentation.
Xylan is a family of thin-film fluoropolymer coatings originally developed by Whitford Corporation, now part of PPG Industries. Composed of materials such as PTFE, PFA, and FEP, Xylan coatings form a durable dry-film barrier that helps reduce friction, resist corrosion, and protect surfaces against wear, adhesion, and chemical attack. Often described as a “plastic alloy,” Xylan combines fluoropolymers with reinforced resin systems to deliver both lubricity and durability.
Xylan 8920 is specifically formulated with an FEP-based system, providing excellent nonstick and release properties for demanding industrial applications. Unlike oils or greases, Xylan provides dry-film lubrication without reapplication. Applied in ultra-thin layers, it is particularly suitable for precision components requiring surface protection without significant dimensional changes.

Processing Guidelines for Xylan 8920 Coating
| Step | Process |
|---|---|
| Surface Preparation | Degrease (acetone or isopropanol) → grit-blast (Sa2.5, Ra 1.5–4.0 μm) → optional phosphate pretreatment for steel |
| Coating Preparation | Low-speed mechanical stirring; dilute with manufacturer-recommended solvent |
| Application | Spray (conventional or HVLP), dip, or dip-spin coating |
| Curing | High-temperature cure; follow manufacturer specifications |
| 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: High-temperature cure required. 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.
