In construction, metal durability is non-negotiable. Your fasteners, fixtures, and fabricated components face harsh conditions daily – from abrasive handling and UV exposure to corrosive chemicals and heavy mechanical stress.
At East Midland Coatings, we specialise in high-performance industrial coatings that extend the life of metal components used across the construction sector. From pre-fabricated steelwork to mechanical assemblies, our coatings ensure your materials don’t just survive the environment – they perform through it.
Why Xylan Coating Is the Construction Industry’s Coating of Choice
Xylan is a fluoropolymer-based dry film lubricant coating, combining PTFE, FEP, and PFA. It’s specifically engineered to:
- Reduce friction.
- Resist wear and corrosion.
- Withstand wide temperature swings.
- Provide strong adhesion on complex geometries.
In construction, these properties are crucial for maintaining safety, integrity, and performance – even in coastal or chemically aggressive environments.
What Construction Components Can Be Coated?
At EMC, we apply Xylan and other advanced coatings to:
- Safety systems and pipe couplings.
- Wind turbine fixtures and towers.
- Steel latches, hinges, and brackets.
- Structural bolts and fixings.
- Hoists, chains, and lifting gear.
- Pre-cast inserts and connecting hardware.
Our coating solutions are used in modular construction, infrastructure, high-rise developments, and off-site manufacturing environments, helping contractors meet both performance and compliance standards.
Built for Resistance: Why Our Coatings Last Longer
East Midland Coatings combines Xylan’s high-performance attributes with rigorous pre-treatment processes such as grit blasting and zinc phosphating.
This ensures:
- Superior surface adhesion.
- Thermal resistance from -250°C to +285°C.
- A smooth, consistent finish even on intricate parts.
Our coatings have been tested in real construction conditions and are relied upon by M&E suppliers, site engineers, and OEM manufacturers.
The EMC Advantage
- 35+ years’ expertise in coating engineering.
- ISO-certified processes and inspection.
- Precision control over film build and coverage.
- Batch and large-scale production capability.
- Fast nationwide delivery and technical support.
Our construction clients rely on EMC not just to coat – but to solve operational challenges through expert material science and application control.
