Due to their extreme adaptability, (and Whitford’s policy of adjusting formulae to match the problem at hand), these coatings offer a wide variety of benefits. They include: low friction, outstanding release, superior resistance to wear and abrasion, extensive resistance to corrosion and chemicals, a wide operating temperature range, UV stability, thermal stability, pliability, machinability, outstanding adhesion to most substrates, electrically conductive and static dissipative systems, EMI/RFI shielding, no shrinkage or warpage, available in many colors, UL® listings, NSF approvals, FDA, REACH and other worldwide regulatory compliance, etc.
Key products include Xylan 1010 (one of the first products developed by Whitford) which is a matrix coating based on an alloy of engineered polymers and Xylan 1424 – a water based fluorpolymer coating widely specified in the oil and gas industry.
