Process Overview
What is Xylar 2 Coating?
Xylar 2 is a high-performance inorganic coating system formulated for metal fasteners and components that face extreme corrosion, temperature cycling, and chemical exposure. Unlike conventional organic paints, Xylar 2 creates a ceramic-like barrier that adheres strongly to steel and stainless steel substrates, providing a sacrificial layer that protects threads, edges, and critical surfaces.
At Fukar in Shah Alam, we apply Xylar 2 as part of a controlled coating stack that can be top-coated with Xylan fluoropolymer layers when lower friction or colour identification is required. The system is widely specified for oil and gas bolting, offshore structures, power generation equipment, and infrastructure projects where coating failure is not an option.
Our process line includes alkaline cleaning, surface activation, spray or dip application, precision curing, and final inspection. Each batch is documented with coating thickness readings, adhesion checks, and corrosion test references so that project quality plans can be met consistently.

Controlled Process
Xylar 2 Coating Process Steps
1. Degreasing
Alkaline or solvent cleaning removes oil, drawing compound, and surface contamination.
2. Surface Prep
Blasting or chemical activation creates the anchor profile needed for coating adhesion.
3. Coating
Xylar 2 is applied by spray or dip to ensure complete coverage on threads and recesses.
4. Curing & QA
High-temperature cure followed by thickness, adhesion, and visual inspection.
Common Questions
Xylar 2 Coating FAQs
What is the difference between Xylar 2 and Xylan coating?
Xylar 2 is an inorganic ceramic primer used mainly for corrosion protection on severe-service fasteners. Xylan is a fluoropolymer topcoat that provides low friction and chemical resistance. They are often used together.
Is Xylar 2 suitable for offshore bolting?
Yes. Xylar 2 is commonly specified for offshore, subsea, and coastal infrastructure bolting because of its strong adhesion and corrosion resistance in salt-rich environments.
Can Xylar 2 be applied to stainless steel?
Yes. With proper surface activation, Xylar 2 can be applied to both carbon steel and stainless steel components to enhance corrosion performance.
What quality checks does Fukar perform?
We record coating thickness, adhesion, cure condition, and visual appearance for each batch. Additional testing can be arranged against project specifications.
