Xylar^®

Overview

Xylar coatings have in common an inorganic, ceramic-metallic bonding agent rather than the organic polymer resins used in Xylan coatings. The ceramic-metallic ³cornerstone² creates coatings which are much harder than their organic counterparts and have the potential for much higher operating temperatures, depending upon the fillers and additives selected for use in the coating. They provide exceptional thin-film corrosion protection and are often top-coated with one of the lubricated Xylan coatings. Xylar can also be used alone when a lubricated surface is not needed.

Processors take note: these coatings have virtually no VOCs.

Xylar coatings are recommended for use in three major application areas:

1. protecting metal from oxidizing due to water in all forms: salt water, ice, steam, even subterranean condensation.
2. protecting metal from high-temperature oxidation up to 1000°F (540°C).
3. providing a sacrificial primer for any conventional air-spray lubricating coating.
