描述
Xylan 8255 is a solvent-based, fastener-grade low-friction 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 8255 is not a simple upgrade of traditional fluoropolymer coatings, but rather an important innovative extension of the Whitford Xylan fluoropolymer system. Through composite material technology, it deeply integrates ultra-low friction specialty lubricants with high-temperature organic polymers, forming a unique “plastic alloy” structure that delivers multi-dimensional performance enhancements beyond single-material coatings.
The coating is primarily formulated as a fastener-grade coating with low friction and excellent corrosion resistance. It provides reliable protection for threaded fasteners and hardware components in demanding industrial environments.
Key Features of Xylan 8255 Coating

Processing Guidelines for Xylan 8255 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 | Supports flexible curing from ambient temperature to 425°C (800°F) |
| 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: Supports a wide range of curing temperatures from ambient 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.
