Abstract

Coated components endure harsh conditions on oil rigs. Lighting components have survived one of nature's toughest tests — installation on oil rigs — with the help of Xylan, a fluoropolymer‐based coating from Whitford Plastics. Andrew Chalmers & Mitchell, a manufacturer of lighting equipment for the oil industry, has had its products coated with Xylan by ICL Technical Plastics Ltd in Glasgow, enabling them to withstand constant attack from corrosive exhaust fumes and to absorb the stresses caused by thermal cycling.
