When it comes to protecting critical components from extreme temperatures, not all coatings are created equal. Highland Electroplaters’ leaf green Xylan® heat shield coating delivers performance that goes far beyond aesthetics.
The Xylan Advantage
Extreme Temperature Resistance
Xylan® coatings withstand continuous operating temperatures up to 260°C (500°F) and intermittent exposure to 285°C (545°F). This thermal stability ensures your heat shields maintain integrity under the most demanding conditions.
Low Friction Properties
Unlike traditional ceramic or metallic heat shields, Xylan®’s PTFE-based formulation provides excellent dry lubrication. This reduces wear on mating components and eliminates the need for additional lubricants that can degrade at high temperatures.
Chemical & Corrosion Resistance
Heat shields face more than just heat—they battle road salt, exhaust gases, moisture, and industrial chemicals. Xylan® creates an impermeable barrier that prevents corrosion while maintaining its protective properties.
Weight Reduction
Xylan® -coated heat shields are significantly lighter than conventional stainless steel or aluminium alternatives. In automotive and aerospace applications, every gram counts.
The Highland Electroplaters Difference
Our precision application process ensures uniform coating thickness and complete coverage, even on complex geometries. The distinctive leaf green finish isn’t just for show—it’s a quality indicator of proper cure and thickness.
Applications include:
- Automotive exhaust systems
- Industrial furnace components
- Aerospace thermal management
- Power generation equipment
