Xylan is a fluoropolymer based industrial coating. Generally, it is applied in a thin film to the target material.

Applications

Xylan is generally used to reduce friction, improve wear resistance, and for non-stick applications. Additionally, it can be used to protect a metal from corrosion. The most commonly known application is in non-stick cookware. Xylan® Coatings are a family of fluoropolymer coatings designed for use on various types of OEM components and fasteners. Most Xylan® coatings contain PTFE or other types of lubricants and are applied in thin films.Xylan is generally used to reduce friction, improve wear resistance, and for non-stick applications.
