Properties:
XYLAN® COATED SCREWS DRIVE IN EASILY, RESIST RUST AND LOOK ATTRACTIVE

Less than half the effort is required to drive home a Xylan® coated wood screw than would be required to drive home the same screw without the coating.

This claim is confirmed independently in tests on plain metal, waxed and
Xylan® coated screws, which were conducted by two leading screw manufacturers, one in Denmark, and the other in the United Kingdom.

Screw Tested     Screwing Moment

Plain metal         0.163 kg. m

Waxed                 0.130 kg. m

Xylan®  coated    0.0666 kg. m

The improvements offered by Xylan® are so great that aluminium screws, which normally shear when driven into Yugoslavian beech, suffer no such fate if they are coated with Xylan®.

Costing only marginally more than the uncoated screw the coated version can be made in a variety of colors including bronze, which because Xylan® is an efficient rust preventative could simplify many aspects of carpentry providing a corrosion resistant finish. The increased speed with which the screws can be driven home has already been welcomed in the furniture industry.


 

Typical Application: 
The application of
Xylan® to screws should make life easier for those who use them and for applications outdoors such as sheds, boats, and other weather-prone environments the unsightliness of rust will be eliminated.
