Fluoropolymer Coated Threaded Fasteners

Fluoropolymer (Xylan® & Dykor®)

Fluoropolymer coatings are a blend of resins and fluoropolymer lubricants. PTFE, PVDF, PFA, and FEP provide low friction, chemical and corrosion resistance, non wetting, and release or non stick properties at temperatures up to 550F. ACT is a Whitford Corporation "Recommended Coater".

Purpose of Xylan and Dykor

Xylan is a nonstick coating available with molybdenum disulfide (MoS2), polyurethane emulsion polymer (PEP), perfluoroalkyl vinyl ether copolymer (PFA) and polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) components. The Xylan line of coatings is extensive and available with a variety of resin binders, functional components and pigments. Xylan coating applications can be specialized to the environment to accommodate for corrosion resistance, low friction and release. With its range of applications, customers can choose a specific Xylan coating to fit their project specifications.

Dykor coatings are engineered for difficult-to-finish projects. Dykor is a powder nonstick coating for tight tolerance applications and can form a thick coat up to 30 mils. Compared to other coats, Dykor is a cost-effective solution for protecting chemical processing equipment from corrosion. 

Fluoropolymers are known for their corrosion resistance and nonstick and non-wetting capabilities, in addition to their ability to withstand heat up to 550 degrees Fahrenheit. 

Applications

Advanced Coating Technology can work with you to identify and the correct Xylan or Dykor coating for you application needs. They can be made for a wide variety of applications. 

  • Car parts: Fluoropolymer helps prevent friction, is corrosion resistant, and withstands under the hood temperatures which is ideal for automotive production.

  • Architecture: Because of its durability,Fluoropolymer is a popular choice in the architectural industry.

  • Food industry: Fluoropolymer is widely used in the food industry to prevent foods such as bread, cheese and candy from sticking to trays and molds. 

  • Industrial settings: The nonstick and easy-to-clean nature of fluoropolymer makes it ideal for industrial packaging and printing equipment.

Problems Frequently Addressed

Problems we frequently address include:

    1. Threaded fasteners - to prevent corrosion, seizing and galling
    2. Vacuum and thermo-form molds - to provide release
    3. Surfaces in contact with inks and lubes - for easy clean up and change over
    4. Heat seal bars - to provide release
    5. Sliding and mating surfaces - to provide dry film lubricity
    6. Hot melt adhesive pots and chutes - for easy clean up and change over
    7. Components exposed to highly-corrosive conditions

Benefits and Examples

The versatility of fluoropolymers gives them several unique benefits, such as:

Extreme Temperature Resistance

Fluoropolymer can withstand temperatures of up to 550 degrees Fahrenheit, making it ideal for high-heat environments. Fluoropolymer is known for its ability to operate in extreme temperature environments where competing traditional lubricants have a high chance of burning. At Advanced Coating Technology, we can provide you with the fluoropolymers you need while addressing temperature issues with solutions such as heat-seal bars and hot-melt adhesive pots and chutes. 

Unparalleled Chemical Protection

Fluoropolymers have a high chemical resistance. Fluoropolymers are chemically inert and weather heat, electricity and friction without any fear of changes to their chemical structures. Advanced Coating Technology uses fluoropolymer's chemical resistance to provide you with equipment such as heat-seal bars, sliding/mating surfaces, hot-melt adhesive pots and components specially designed for highly corrosive conditions.
