Engineered Coatings
Mechem is an expert in the application of what we call engineered coatings.
These are usually engineered fluoropolymer coatings that are formulated for specific performance requirements. We mainly use Xylan products from Whitford.
BENEFITS & PROPERTIES
- Lubrication and controlled friction
- Wear resistance
- Heat resistance
- Nonstick and high release properties
- The polymer component also provides it with the additional anti-corrosion property.
Mechem can develope material handling solutions for your complex needs.
Engineered coatings solve the problems created when the ideal material for use in engineering construction has the wrong surface properties. Parts made from materials with optimum strength, weight and cost may corrode, seize or adhere. Engineered coatings provide the working surface, tailored to the application.
Engineered coatings such as Xylan from Whitford can be made into many colours to match their surroundings, for colour coding, or to provide functional surfaces.
