Anti-Corrosion Xylan Coating Services for Industrial Applications

Why Anti-Corrosion Coatings Are Critical to Performance

In demanding industrial environments, corrosion isn’t just a threat—it’s a guarantee without the right protection. Whether it’s due to salt spray, UV exposure, or chemical contact, metal parts degrade fast unless properly shielded. At East Midland Coatings, we deliver high-performance Xylan® anti-corrosion coatings designed to prolong service life, minimise failures, and reduce maintenance costs across multiple sectors.

We’ve coated millions of components used in rail, automotive, oil and gas, engineering, and heavy construction. Our clients return to EMC not just for coating, but for precision, consistency, and confidence.

 

What Is Xylan and Why Is It So Effective?

Xylan is a family of fluoropolymer-based coatings (PTFE, PFA, and FEP blends) designed for extreme protection. It’s a dry film lubricant with secondary properties that deliver robust performance even in the most aggressive conditions. These coatings are:

  • FDA and WRAS approved for safety
  • Resistant to wear, corrosion, and extreme temperatures
  • Low friction with a coefficient as low as 0.02
  • Chemically inert, even under pressure
  • Customisable in colour and thickness

At EMC, we most commonly apply Xylan 1010 and 1424, depending on the substrate, geometry, and operating conditions. We work to your specifications—or help define them—so your parts are ready to perform from day one.

 

Which Parts Benefit Most from Xylan Coatings?

Our Xylan coatings are ideal for:

  • Bolts, screws, washers, and fasteners
  • Pneumatic cylinders and valve stems
  • Oil and gas piping
  • Machined and fabricated steel components
  • Automotive and rail brackets

These parts operate in challenging environments—salt spray, chemical attack, high heat. That’s why our clients choose EMC’s Xylan coating service: proven reliability in real-world use.
