In industries where performance and longevity are critical, the right coating can mean the difference between seamless operation and costly downtime. That’s where Xylan coatings come in—one of the most versatile, high-performance solutions for protecting and enhancing industrial components.
At Marcote, we don’t just apply coatings—we engineer performance improvements. With over 30 years of expertise, we work with businesses across food production, automotive, manufacturing, aerospace, and more to ensure that their components are built to last.
So, what makes Xylan coatings such a powerful tool in industrial applications?
What is Xylan and Why Should You Care?
Originally developed by Whitford, Xylan coatings are a family of fluoropolymer-based coatings that offer exceptional protection against wear, corrosion, and extreme temperatures.
What sets them apart is their ability to reduce friction, resist chemicals, and provide non-stick properties—all in a thin, high-performance layer.
Unlike traditional coatings, Xylan combines dry-film lubrication with outstanding durability, making it the go-to solution for industries where efficiency, reliability, and minimal maintenance are key.
How Xylan Coatings Improve Performance & Reduce Costs
Friction Reduction & Non-Stick Properties
If moving parts in your operation stick, drag, or wear down too quickly, Xylan coatings provide a low-friction surface that keeps components running smoothly. This leads to:
-
- Increased efficiency in high-speed machinery;
-
- Reduced wear & tear, extending component lifespan;
-
- Lower energy consumption from reduced resistance.
Corrosion & Chemical Resistance
Whether you’re dealing with harsh industrial environments, extreme weather, or corrosive chemicals, Xylan acts as a protective shield, preventing material degradation. This is especially useful for:
-
- Oil & gas equipment exposed to saltwater and chemicals;
-
- Automotive components prone to rust and corrosion;
-
- Fasteners and fittings used in extreme conditions.
Extreme Temperature Resistance
Xylan coatings maintain their properties under high heat and freezing conditions, making them ideal for:
-
- Aerospace components that need thermal stability;
-
- Industrial baking trays and food processing equipment;
-
- Automotive parts exposed to engine heat.
Wear & Abrasion Resistance
Industrial equipment takes a beating—constant movement, high pressure, and mechanical stress all contribute to wear. Xylan coatings help components:
-
- Last longer with minimal maintenance;
-
- Withstand continuous contact and movement;
-
- Reduce downtime and replacement costs.
