Advanced Xylan Coatings for High-Demand Environments
Xylan is a family of fluoropolymer composite coatings engineered for low-friction, chemical resistance, wear protection, and corrosion resistance, even under extreme operating conditions. These coatings can also incorporate conductive or anti-corrosive properties depending on specification requirements.
MIL applies Xylan coatings to meet stringent MIL-spec, AMS, and OEM performance standards, ensuring consistent film build, adhesion, and durability on every part.
Xylan Coating Highlights
- Exceptional corrosion resistance
- Low coefficient of friction
- Strong chemical and solvent resistance
- Good wear performance under load
- Available in conductive, non-conductive, and anti-corrosive formulations
- Thin, controlled film thickness ideal for close-tolerance parts
- Suitable for complex geometries and multi-step assembly workflows
How the Xylan Coating Process Works
Step 1 — Surface Preparation
Proper substrate preparation ensures the longevity and performance of Xylan coatings. MIL performs:
- Degreasing and precision cleaning
- Abrasive blasting (when required)
- Spec-driven masking for tight-tolerance surfaces
- Substrate conditioning to improve adhesion
Step 2 — Xylan Application
Xylan coatings are applied via controlled spray techniques, producing a uniform film with the required friction, wear, or corrosion-resistant properties.
Xylan formulations can provide:
- Non-stick surfaces
- Corrosion barriers
- Enhanced wear performance
- Electrical conductivity or insulation (depending on system)
Step 3 — Thermal Curing
Xylan coatings require a controlled bake cycle to achieve full film formation. MIL ensures:
- Accurate cure temperatures
- Consistent film hardness
- Proper adhesion
- Specification-aligned curing profiles
Step 4 — Inspection & Verification
All Xylan-coated parts undergo detailed inspection, including:
- Film thickness measurement
- Visual and adhesion checks
- Verification against coating specification
- Full documentation and traceability
