描述
Xylan 1642 is a conductive, flexible two-stage coating from Whitford Corporation (now PPG), specifically formulated for application on temperature-sensitive substrates and automotive EPDM extrusions . 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 (primarily for metal substrates), or Xylan 1632 (rubber/plastic hydrocarbon barrier), Xylan 1642 is a conductive coating that drains away static electricity and disperses it elsewhere, preventing static buildup that can interfere with equipment operation . It is a flexible two-pack system containing both resin and catalyst, curable at low temperatures suitable for heat-sensitive substrates .
Xylan 1642 is widely recognized for its application on the EPDM surface of power cables in Maglev super-trains. At speeds exceeding 400 km/h, static buildup can cause the train to sway, causing passenger discomfort. Xylan 1642 effectively eliminates this issue through its conductive properties . The coating’s exceptionally low coefficient of friction also provides lubrication that facilitates cable installation .
Typical applications include door seals, body seals, window seals for the automotive industry, and power cable coatings requiring static dissipation and flexibility . The coating operates between -30°C and 100°C and is available in a variety of colours .
