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.

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.
