They are used for glass runs, door, trunk andhood seals, O-rings, diaphragms as well as fordecorative effects.Dip/Spin ApplicationsXylan coatings are easily applied by many methods,including dip/spin. They provide superb resistanceto abrasion, corrosion, temperature, chemicals,the elements. They contain no heavy metals,offer precise, uniform torque-tension control, lesshead fill, and come in many colours.Off-Shore Oil IndustryXylan coatings offer many benefits for offshoreservice. These include resistance to corrosion andchemical attack,superbsubsea visibility,lowermaintenancecostsand lessdowntime.Whitford is world leader in the off-shoreoil industry in terms of thin-film coatings.Xylancoatingshave beenthe firstchoice ofmany engineersin theoffshore industryformore than30 years.You’ll find Xylan hard at work above and belowthe sea in the Hibernian Peninsula, Gulf of Mexico,Arabian Sea, South China Sea, North Sea, WestAfrica’s deepwater frontier — wherever the offshoreindustry faces severe conditions that demand thefinest performance from protective coatings.Xylan for BearingsXylan coatings for bearings are ideal as the primarylubricant where fluids cannot be used or asbackup lubricant where the primary (fluid) lubricantcould fail. Automotive uses are increasing wherecleanliness is important. They are wear-resistant,low-friction materials that improvethe life of bearingsand wear surfaces. By reducingmetal-to-metal contactat interface surfaces,the coatings minimize thepoints of adhesive wearand heat buildup.These coatings are particularlyimportant when parts are4operating on the outer limits of their fluid lubrication,the so-called “boundary” lubrication phenomenon,or during break-in periods. Whitford will helpyou determine which coatings are best suited toyour bearing applications and how you shouldapply them.ReprographicsWhitford coatings are showing up in rollers ofmany types around the world.Whitford has developed specialty coatings forthe demanding reprographic industry.These coatings offer many benefits for fuserrollers in copiers and laser printers. These includesuperior toner release, dissipating static electricity,and extending service life.MouldsWhitford offers a wide range of Xylan, ® Xylar ®and Dykor ® coatings for all types of moulds andmaterials, designed to simplify and make more efficientthe manufacture of many different kinds ofproducts.Typical materials used in moulds coated withXylan, Xylar and Dykor include PET, carbon fibre,glass, rubber, polyurethane. Typical mould applicationsinclude tyres, foods, belts, auto headliners,shoes, cutting disks, packaging, etc.Whitford coatings have superb release, outstandingabrasion resistance, resistance to chemicals,etc.Garden ToolsWhitford’s Xylan coatings offer many benefits forall types of garden tools. These include making cuttingeasier, keeping blades sharper longer, resistingcorrosion, reducing “snagging”, extendingservice life and improving eye appeal at point ofsale.Xylan coatings are perfect for everything fromlopper blades and pruners to hand trowels and sawblades.WaterworksWhitford’s coatings offer a long list of advan-
