PPG & Whitford Quality Approved Coater
Industrial Coating Services for Malaysian Manufacturers
Fukar Sdn. Bhd. is an authorised PPG Quality Approved Coater and Whitford Quality Approved Coater (QAC) — one of a small number of facilities in Malaysia certified to apply Xylan® fluoropolymer coatings to OEM specification. Our coating lines operate from a 12,000 sq. ft. facility in Shah Alam, Selangor, serving manufacturers in the oil & gas, automotive, electronics, and construction sectors since 2005.
Our three coating processes — Xylan fluoropolymer, fluoropolymer, and zinc flake — address a range of surface protection requirements from non-stick and low-friction finishes to extreme corrosion resistance for high-strength fasteners. All coatings are processed under ISO 9001:2015 quality management with full traceability from job order to test certificate.
Fukar's coating capability has been proven at scale: we applied Xylar 2 and Xylan 1424 coatings to over 200 tonnes of fasteners for the PNG LNG project — one of Southeast Asia's largest infrastructure contracts. Our technical team can assess your substrate, service environment, and specification requirements to confirm the optimum coating system.
Three Processes
Our Coating Services
Fluoropolymer and zinc-based coating processes to provide non-stick, low-friction, chemical-resistant, and high-corrosion-resistant surfaces for industrial components and fasteners.
Xylan® Fluoropolymer Coating
Whitford Xylan® fluoropolymer-based coating providing non-stick, low-friction, and corrosion-resistant surfaces. Rated to 260°C continuous service. Proven on 200+ tonnes of oil & gas fasteners via the PNG LNG project.
- Whitford QAC & PPG QAC certified
- Up to 260°C continuous service
- Non-stick, low friction, corrosion resistant
fluoropolymer Coating
Industrial fluoropolymer coating applied via HVLP spray using a primer and topcoat system. Provides chemical resistance across a wide operating range of -200°C to 260°C. Available in food-grade and industrial grades.
- -200°C to 260°C operating range
- Chemical resistance, non-stick
- PPG Quality Approved Coater
Zinc Flake Coating
Mechanically applied zinc-aluminium flake coating delivering 1,000+ hours salt spray resistance per ASTM B117 with no hydrogen embrittlement. Preferred for high-strength fasteners and structural components where electroplating is not viable.
- 1,000+ hrs salt spray (ASTM B117)
- No hydrogen embrittlement
- Zinc-aluminium flake system
Technical Reference
Coating Performance Comparison
Choosing the right coating depends on your primary performance requirement — whether that is corrosion protection, friction reduction, chemical resistance, or temperature tolerance. Use the table below as an initial guide. Our technical team will confirm the best system for your substrate, environment, and OEM specification.
Fukar is one of a limited number of facilities in Malaysia holding both PPG QAC and Whitford QAC certification. This matters when your procurement specification references Xylan® by name.
Discuss Your Specification| Process | Key Property | Salt Spray | Application |
|---|---|---|---|
| Xylan® Coating | Non-stick, low friction, 260°C | 500+ hrs | Oil & gas fasteners, automotive bolts |
| fluoropolymer Coating | Chemical resistance, non-stick | Good | Food processing, industrial equipment |
| Zinc Flake | Extreme corrosion resistance | 1,000+ hrs | High-strength fasteners, structural bolts |
Why Specify Fukar for Your Coating Requirement
Dual QAC Certification
Fukar holds both PPG Quality Approved Coater and Whitford Quality Approved Coater status — covering Malaysia and Thailand. When your specification calls for Xylan® by brand name, Fukar is one of a limited number of certified facilities in Malaysia qualified to apply it to OEM standards.
Proven at Scale
Our coating capability has been validated on major industrial projects. For the PNG LNG project, Fukar applied Xylar 2 ceramic coating and Xylan 1424 fluoropolymer coating to over 200 tonnes of fasteners — demonstrating consistent quality across high-volume, critical-service applications.
Technical Consultancy
Our technical team works with design engineers and procurement managers to confirm the correct coating system for each application — including Xylan grade selection, film thickness specification, substrate preparation, and compatibility with existing surface treatments such as zinc plating or phosphating.
Common Questions
Coating Services — Frequently Asked Questions
Questions from procurement managers, design engineers, and QA teams about our Xylan, fluoropolymer, and zinc flake coating processes.
Ask a Technical QuestionWhat is Xylan coating?
Xylan is a brand of fluoropolymer coating manufactured by Whitford Corporation. It is applied as a liquid paint system containing fluoropolymer or other fluoropolymers, providing non-stick, low-friction, and corrosion-resistant surfaces on industrial fasteners and components. Xylan coatings are rated to 260°C continuous service and are widely used in oil & gas, automotive, and food processing applications. Fukar is an authorised Whitford Quality Approved Coater for Xylan products.
What is the difference between Xylan and fluoropolymer coating?
Xylan is a proprietary fluoropolymer coating brand from Whitford that incorporates fluoropolymer along with specific polymers and binders engineered for enhanced adhesion and defined performance grades — such as Xylan 1424 for corrosion protection and Xylar 2 for ceramic-reinforced high-temperature service. fluoropolymer coating is a broader category using polytetrafluoroethylene as the primary material. Fukar applies both Xylan (as a certified Whitford QAC) and fluoropolymer coating systems, and can advise which is appropriate for your specification.
What is zinc flake coating used for?
Zinc flake coating is used to protect high-strength fasteners, structural bolts, and oil & gas components from corrosion. It provides 1,000+ hours salt spray resistance per ASTM B117 through a mechanically applied zinc-aluminium flake system. The critical advantage over electroplating is no hydrogen embrittlement risk — making it safe for use on high-tensile fasteners (Grade 10.9 and above) where hydrogen absorption can cause brittle fracture.
Does Fukar hold Whitford QAC certification?
Yes. Fukar Sdn. Bhd. holds Whitford Quality Approved Coater (QAC) certification covering Malaysia and Thailand operations. This certification confirms that Fukar's application processes, equipment calibration, and quality controls meet Whitford's standards for applying Xylan® and other Whitford fluoropolymer products. Fukar also holds PPG Quality Approved Coater status. Both certifications are available for review during supplier qualification audits.
What temperature can Xylan coating withstand?
Standard Xylan fluoropolymer coatings are rated to 260°C (500°F) continuous service. Xylar ceramic-reinforced grades offer enhanced thermal performance for applications exposed to higher operating temperatures such as exhaust system fasteners and engine components. Fukar's technical team can recommend the appropriate Xylan grade for your specific temperature and service environment requirements.
