SPRAY COATINGS

Xylan® Coatings

Xylan® coatings are fluoropolymer-based dry film lubricants applied in thin layers, typically between 0.0008″ and 0.002″. These coatings contain PTFE or other lubricants that reduce friction, resist corrosion, and perform well under extreme temperatures.

Features:

• Excellent chemical and corrosion resistance
• Low coefficient of friction (0.15-0.35)
• Effective temperature range from -100°F to 500°F
• High adhesion and flexibility without cracking
• Commonly used on fasteners, valves, and components in oil and gas applications

Benefits:

Extends equipment life, prevents galling and seizing, and provides consistent torque control.

Molybdenum Disulfide (MoS₂) Coatings

Molybdenum Disulfide coatings are dry film lubricants ideal for heavy loads and high temperatures. The coating bonds to the base metal through thermal curing, providing solid lubrication and corrosion protection.

Features:

• Load capacity up to 250,000 psi
• Coefficient of friction between 0.03-0.06
• Stable up to 400°F in oxidizing environments, and up to 1000°F in non-oxidizing conditions
• Excellent wear resistance and durability under pressure
• Thickness range: .001”-.003”

Applications:

Common on bearings, gears, slides, and other moving components that experience heavy contact and high friction.

Everslik® Coatings (1201 & 1301)

Everslik® coatings are solid film lubricants based on epoxy and phenolic resins, often enhanced with molybdenum disulfide. Everslik® 1201 is typically used as a primer or standalone coating, while 1301 serves as a topcoat for enhanced corrosion and wear resistance.

Everslik® 1201:

• Epoxy-based coating with MoS₂ additive
• Used as a base coat or single layer for lubrication and corrosion resistance
• Operating temperature up to 400°F (204°C)
• Dry Film Thickness: 0.3 to 1.5 mils

Everslik® 1301:

• Phenolic-based topcoat designed for additional protection
• Combines with 1201 for multi-layer defense
• Operation Temperature up to 300°F (149°C)
• Dry Film Thickness: 0.3 to 1 mils

Benefits:

Strong adhesion, excellent barrier properties, and reduced friction in high-wear conditions. Ideal for fasteners, couplings, and high-stress mechanical parts.

Air Dry & Thermal Cure Epoxy Coatings

Epoxy coatings are polymer-based systems used for corrosion and chemical resistance on metal surfaces. At Nitretex, they’re used on machinery, piping, and structures where strong adhesion and chemical resistance are required. These coatings are categorized into two types: Air-Dry and Thermal-Cure.

Air-Dry Epoxy Coatings:

• Two- or three-part system that cures at room temperature through the reaction between resin and hardener
• Slower curing process influenced by humidity and ambient temperature
• Suitable for field or large assemblies where heat equipment is not practical
• Excellent adhesion, corrosion, and abrasion resistance
• Common in steel structures, marine, and oil and gas piping applications

Thermal-Cure Epoxy Coatings:

• Two- or three-part system that cures under controlled heat (250-400°F)
• Produces a harder, denser film with high cross-link density
• Shorter cure time and superior hardness, bond strength, and chemical resistance
• Ideal for precision components and factory-processed parts exposed to harsh chemicals or high loads

Both systems form durable, chemically resistant coating films. Air-dry types are preferred for on-site work or large parts, while thermal-cure systems are selected for tighter tolerances and higher performance requirements. Nitretex determines the proper system based on part geometry, operating environment, and service conditions.
