Radiant Surface Engineering services

Our Coating Standards

We can recommend a coating for your particular end use and provide samples for testing. If you have an existing coating application that needs recoating or have an application that needs to be coated to a specification, Radiant Surface Engineering can serve your needs.Quality, Service, and Dependability are the hallmarks upon which Radiant Surface Engineering works. In addition, we understand that time is often critical, thus we offer quick turnaround times. You can be confident that Radiant Surface Engineering will get the job done right and on time, every time.

Xylan® Coating

Xylan coatings reduce friction, improve wear resistance, protect metal from corrosion, and for non-stick applications which make them ideal for a variety of applications. Xylan coatings differ from traditional fluoropolymer coatings in one very important aspect: they are composite materials. Lubricants with the lowest known coefficient of friction are combined with high temperature resistant organic polymers, together they form "plastic alloys" with unique properties.

Xylan® Characteristics:

• Coefficient of friction as low as 0.02.

• Superb wear resistance even under extreme pressure.

• Outstanding corrosion and chemical resistance against:

• Water and Salt Water

• Acids

• Bases

• Solvents

• Other fluids.

• Wide operating-temperature range from -195°C to +285°C (-385°F to +545°F).

• Flexible curing schedule from ambient to 425°C (800°F).

• Wide range of colors available in many formulations.

• Pliability: Xylan coatings bend freely and repeatedly without breaking.

• Machinability: After applying multiple coats of Xylan, some formulations can be machined to fit.

• Excellent adhesion to most metals, plastics, ceramics, wood, and even to itself.

  The Xylan® Coating Process

Xylan coatings can be applied to all types of metal substrates. Regardless of material, the application process typically proceeds as follows:

1. Removing any contaminants on the surface that can interfere with the formation of a quality coating layer.

2. Abrading the surface using grit blasting or sanding methods to prepare it for the coating application stage.

3. Masking any areas of the surface where coating material should not be applied.

4. Applying the coating to the surface via a conventional spray, electrostatic powder, or dip-spin method.

5. Thermally curing the applied coating to form a smooth and strong layer.
