XR200 spray-on release coating for large industrial parts
Who can put a release coating on a part too big for an oven? AEGIS Advanced can. XR200 is our spray-on extreme release coating, formerly sold as FC200. It cures at room temperature, so we can coat hoppers, chutes, ductwork, pans, hoods and process equipment in our shop or at your plant. Adhesives, resins, starch, food residue and tacky buildup let go of it. Try the duct tape test: tape won’t hold on it.
Where XR200 fits
- Hoppers, chutes and bins where product sticks and bridges
- Ductwork, hoods and exhaust where tacky residue builds up
- Pans, trays and guards on converting and packaging lines
- Spray nozzles and glue or starch application equipment
- Large fabrications that won’t fit in a curing oven
- Paper machine steam boxes, hoods and winder pans
Anything that sees a doctor blade, web contact or heavy abrasion needs more than a soft coating. For those rolls, use XR100T, which locks the same release chemistry into a tungsten carbide matrix. If the roll also has to grip the web, see XR100TC traction release.
Why a room-temperature cure matters
Most PTFE release coatings have to be baked in an oven. That rules out big weldments, assembled equipment and anything with seals or heat-sensitive parts. XR200 cures at room temperature, so size and heat limits stop being a problem, and we can coat in place during a scheduled outage.

Common questions
How big a part can you coat?
If it fits through our shop door we can coat it in Elkton. If it doesn’t, we bring the coating to you, because XR200 doesn’t need an oven.
Can you apply it during a shutdown?
Yes. XR200 cures at room temperature, so we can coat in place during a scheduled outage.
How is XR200 different from PTFE?
It’s a different chemistry. Adhesives, tapes and tacky residues that grab PTFE release from XR200.
Is it food safe?
The XR release chemistry met 21 CFR 177.2600 extractables testing. For food-contact parts, see our food grade coatings.
Is there a sleeve version?
Yes. For rolls with pitted or corroded faces, the same release is available as a heat shrink sleeve through our sister company Fluoron.
