描述
Xylan 4016 is a solvent-borne, PTFE-based primer coating from Whitford Corporation (now PPG), specifically formulated as a market-leading primer for silicone-rubber substrates . 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 primarily topcoat dry-film lubricants for metal substrates, Xylan 4016 is a specialized primer designed to provide adhesion to silicone-rubber materials. It is formulated for use with the Resilon 2000 Series and Xylan rubber coatings, enabling reliable bonding between the coating system and elastomeric substrates .
Xylan 4016 is a key component of Whitford’s Xylan coating system for rubber applications. As an extension of the Xylan fluoropolymer system, it features composite material technology that deeply integrates ultra-low friction lubricants with high-temperature organic polymers, forming a “plastic alloy” structure for enhanced performance . The primer is part of a two-coat system where it serves as the adhesion layer between the rubber substrate and the functional topcoat.

Processing Guidelines for Xylan 4016 Coating
| Step | Process |
|---|---|
| Surface Preparation | Clean silicone-rubber substrate surface; ensure compatibility with elastomer material; proper surface preparation critical for adhesion |
| Coating Preparation | Low-speed mechanical stirring; dilute with manufacturer-recommended solvent |
| Application | Spray or dip coating onto silicone rubber substrate |
| Flash-off | Allow solvent flash-off at room temperature |
| Topcoat Application | Apply Resilon 2000 Series or Xylan rubber topcoat over primer |
| Curing | Follow manufacturer specifications; supports ambient to 425°C curing |
| Storage | Store in original, sealed containers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Shelf life: 18 months |
Critical Processing Warnings:
Substrate Compatibility: Xylan 4016 is specifically formulated for silicone rubber substrates. Ensure the substrate material is compatible with the primer system .
Primer Application: Xylan 4016 is a primer that requires a compatible topcoat (Resilon 2000 Series or Xylan rubber coatings) for the final functional coating system .
Surface Preparation: Proper surface preparation is critical for adhesion. Ensure surfaces are clean and properly prepared according to manufacturer specifications.
Curing: Supports flexible curing from ambient temperature to 425°C. Select curing parameters based on substrate material, part mass, and application requirements .
Storage: Store in original, sealed containers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
