Whitford Corporation Coatings

Whitford is a worldwide organization that makes the largest, most complete line of flluropolymer coatings in the world. Some of the brands they manufacture are Xylan®, Excalibur®, Dykor®, Xylar®, and Quantanium®. As a long time member of the Whitford "Quality Approved Coater" program, Plas-Tech is experienced with all the Whitford coatings and inventories many of the coatings they manufacture.

Like DuPont Teflon®, the family of coatings Whitford manufactures are fluoropolymers. Whitford takes a slightly different approach to solving problems with fluoropolymer coatings. Instead of bending the problem to match a coating, they start with the problem and develop a coating to solve it. Whitford coatings become the "go to" brand when a custom coating is required.

The following is a list of benefits produced by Whitford Coatings:
