New Xylan1424: Aqueous coating from Whitford with improved corrosion resistance

A new environmentally friendly, waterborne fastener coating from Whitford has demonstrated
outstanding corrosion resistance when compared to traditional solvent-based coatings.

Developed for the offshore sector, Xylan 1424 is a resin-bonded, thermally cured, dry-film
lubricant, designed for spray application. It is formulated to provide the highest levels of
corrosion resistance whilst offering improved “chip-resistance”.

Xylan 1424 is available in a wide range of colors and can be applied to all types of fasteners in
a broad range of materials, including aluminum, brass, high alloy steels, carbon steel,
stainless steel, titanium and zinc plating. Its corrosion inhibiting qualities are further enhanced
when applied in conjunction with a range of recommended primers and pretreatments.

The coating is designed to withstand most solvents, automotive fluids and fuels and is
impervious to the new water-based hydraulic fluids recently introduced into the offshore
industry.

Key advantages of Xylan 1424 over solvent-based coatings include:

• Environmentally friendly.
• Superior corrosion resistance.
• Low flash-off temperature: air dry or force dry at 100°C/212°F.
• Low cure temperature of 205°C/400°F).
• Suitable for use with a broad range of substrates.

Xylan 1424 demonstrates superior levels of corrosion protection over its solvent-based
equivalents and is an ideal coating system to be used where environmental regulations restrict
the use of solvent-based coatings.

Whitford manufactures the largest and most complete range of fluoropolymer coatings in the
world. Whitford Worldwide now has manufacturing facilities in seven countries, offices in an
additional four countries, a global network of 50 agents and sales in more than 100 countries
worldwide.
