2b. Noise suppression:<br />
Xylan eliminates itch<br />
and squeak from<br />
micromovement.<br />
Which Xylan coating is best<br />
for your sealing-system problem?<br />
1. Glass run: Xylan’s excellent<br />
abrasion resistance offers<br />
years of extra wear.<br />
All the new Xylan coatings have been formulated<br />
to solve specific problems on varied substrates.<br />
This guide indicates which coating is<br />
best suited for each individual application.<br />
1. Glass-Run Applications<br />
These applications refer to the coating of<br />
window seals in which automotive glass<br />
moves during opening and closing operations.<br />
The coatings have high abrasion resistance,<br />
low consistent-friction values and low operational-noise<br />
qualities, all major advantages<br />
over traditional flock technologies.<br />
◆ Solvent-borne option:<br />
• 2321 Series (two-component system).<br />
◆ Waterborne option:<br />
• 2121 Series (two-component system).<br />
2. Weatherstrip Applications<br />
These applications refer to the coating of<br />
primary and secondary door seals, boot<br />
(trunk) seals and bonnet (hood) seals. The<br />
reasons for using a coating include provision<br />
for freeze (ice)-release and noise suppression<br />
properties associated with the micromovement<br />
of seals against a painted surface.<br />
◆ Solvent-borne options:<br />
• 2320 Series (two-component system).<br />
2a. Freeze release:<br />
Prevents sticky seals in<br />
all weather conditions.<br />
3. Appearance: Xylan comes in an<br />
unlimited range of colors and textures.<br />
It resists weathering, maintaining its<br />
sheen for years of service.<br />
◆ Waterborne options:<br />
• 2020 Series (single component system).<br />
3. Appearance Applications<br />
These are the coating of sealing systems<br />
for decorative effect. By inference, the coatings<br />
are often required to have excellent<br />
resistance to environmental weathering. This<br />
group of applications includes coloured and<br />
textured coatings.<br />
◆ Solvent-borne option:<br />
• 2322 Series (two-component system).<br />
◆ Waterborne options:<br />
• 2222 Series (one-component system).<br />
• 2330 Series (one-component system).<br />
Thanks to Xylan, the absence of itch and squeak lets the<br />
beauty of nature speak in its own quiet way.
