The first brand offered by Whitford, Xylan® is the benchmark of our line of industrial coatings. Chosen by engineers since 1969, Xylan coatings resist chemicals and corrosion, are perfect as barrier coatings, and withstand high-pressure, high-temperature environments.

Xylan 142X series fastener-class coatings are waterborne/VOC-compliant, resin-bonded, thermally cured, single-film, dry-film lubricants. They are primarily formulated for use on fasteners and oil tools to prevent corrosion and resist chemicals.

The 1424 series coating facilitates make-up torque and is available in a wide range of colors.

Substrate Information

This series of coatings can be applied to many types of substrate materials, such as aluminum, brass, high-alloy steels, carbon steel, stainless steel, titanium and zinc plating.

Use Temperature

Xylan 142X series can be used continuously from -60° F (-50° C) to +350° F (+175° C) and can survive up to +400° F (+204° C) intermittently.

Corrosion Resistance

Xylan 142X series applied at 1 mil (25 micron) dry-film thickness, over zinc phosphated steel panels, has exceeded 1,500 hours of ASTM B-117 salt fog test. With the same pretreatment, 30 cycles DIN 50018 Kesternich test (2.0 liters SO2) are achieved. Both with less than 15% red rust. Xylan 1400 coatings will provide an even better corrosion protection when used over a sacrificial primer.

Physical Properties

  • Pencil Hardness: 2 - 3 H
  • Dielectric Strength: 500 V/mil
  • Coefficient of Friction: 0.05 - 0.10

Torque Values

The low coefficient of friction of the coating reduces the torque required to achieve the desired tension preload. Whitford recommends the use of direct tension indicators to determine proper make-up torque for each size or lot of fasteners used on a given application.
