Xylan® Coatings are a family of fluoropolymer coatings designed for use on various types of OEM components and fasteners to prevent corrosion and increase the life of the product. Most Xylan® coatings contain PTFE or other types of lubricants and are applied in thin films. Scroll down to see the Xylan coating services we offer and their individual uses.
Xylan is a registered brand name for a type of fluoropolymer coating. Developed, trademarked, and marketed by the Whitford Worldwide Company (which PPG acquired in 2019), Whitford Xylan Coating (now PPG Xylan Coating) has developed a longstanding reputation as the benchmark standard in industrial coatings.
The benefits you can get from Xylan® Coating
- Lubrication and controlled friction
- Wear resistance
- Heat resistance
- Nonstick and release properties
- Corrosion protection
Types of Xylan Coating
There are several variations of Xylan. The one that’s right for you will depend on your industry, the products and components you work with, and the environments in which they are designed to operate. When you partner with Crest Coating to coordinate your Xylan coating services, our expert team will advise you on the best solutions for your needs. Here are some examples to give you a general idea:
- Xylan 1000 Series – Best suited to sliding mechanisms, bearings, large fasteners, power screws, valves, machine parts, and pistons.
- Xylan 1400 Series – Typical applications include large fasteners and automotive components.
Xylan 1010:
Dry-film lubricant for any wear surface to reduce friction, prevent scoring and galling, and provide secondary lubrication in the event of failure of the primary (conventional) lubricant. In addition to its low coefficient of friction (0.04-1.00), Xylan 1010 has good release properties, good chemical and abrasion resistance, and operates at temperatures up to 285°C (550°F).
Xylan 1014:
Similar to Xylan 1010, but with significantly more bonding resin relative to its content of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) lubricant. This provides a finish that is harder, more abrasion- resistant, glossier and less porous. Friction values remain low and predictable.
Xylan 1052:
Dry-film lubricant formulated with PTFE and MoS2 for high-pressure, low-speed wear applications. Its unique chemistry provides dependable, bonded lubrication for bearing surfaces subjected to extreme pressures of up to 10,500 kg/cm2 (150,000 psi). Xylan 1052 operates at temperatures up to 285°C (550°F).
Xylan 1070:
Highly corrosion-resistant, low-friction coating designed to reduce make-up and break-out torque, even after prolonged exposure to corrosive environments. Xylan 1070 also offers good wear and abrasion resistance.
Xylan 1424:
Waterborne/VOC-compliant, highly corrosion-resistant, dry-film lubricant designed for use on any mating surface requiring lubrication. Xylan 1424 reduces make-up and break-out torque and also offers excellent chemical and abrasion resistance. Similar to Xylan 1014.
Xylan 1425:
Waterborne, dry-film lubricant formulated with PTFE and MoS2 specifically for high-pressure, low-speed wear applications. Its unique chemistry provides dependable, bonded lubrication for bearing surfaces subjected to extreme pressures up to 10,500 kg/cm2 (150,000 psi). Xylan 1425 operates well in harsh chemical environments and at temperatures up to 190°C (375°F). Similar to Xylan 1052.
Xylan 1427:
Waterborne, low-friction, highly corrosion- resistant fastener coating designed to reduce make-up and break-out torque, even after prolonged exposure to corrosive environments. Xylan 1427 also offers excellent chemical, wear and abrasion resistance.
Xylan 1514:
UV-resistant, dry-film lubricant with excellent low friction. Xylan 1514 is designed for highly visible, decorative applications where stain resistance and easy-clean properties are required. This coating also offers some corrosion and abrasion resis tance and is considered the most lubricious in the series.
Xylan® 1052 – Ideal for any mating surface that needs dry lubrication e.g. bearings, sealing rings and valve springs. With a continues operating temperature of -195°C to +260°C and a intermittent range of -195°C to +285°C. Whitfords 1052 is an Organic solvent based, high temperature, general purpose coating for extreme pressure applications. Typical DFT coating 15 – 20 um, available in a wide range of colours.
Xylan® 1070 – Typical applications of 1070 includes threaded fasteners and nuts with a continues operating temperature of -195°C to +260°C and an intermittent range of -195°C to +285°C. Whitfords 1070 is an Organic solvent based, low friction coating normally used over Zinc, Phosphate or other pretreatment to achieve up to 3000 hours salt spray resistance. Typical DFT coating 20 – 25 um, available in a wide range of colours.

Xylan® 1424 – Typical applications are threaded fasteners and nuts with a continuous operating temperature of -20°C to +180°C and an intermittent range of -20°C to +230°C. Whitfords 1424 is an Aqueous based, dry lubricant coating normally used over Zinc / Phosphate or other pretreatment with excellent corrosion resistance properties. Typical DFT coating 20 – 25 um, available in a wide range of colours.
