Parylene Protective Coating

Parylene is a polymer film which is applied in thin layers (50nm - 50µm) to the specimen in a gaseous form under vacuum. The result is a protective coating with unsurpassable characteristics compared to other methods, such as protective lacquers and with outstanding properties. It is a well proven technique since over 40 years and has been used primarily in military and space technology applications.

Typical applications are:

• Electronic devices in tough environments

• Piezo actuators

• MEMS

• Microwave electronics

• Electrical isolation (200 volts/µm)

• Sensors in tough environments

• Transparency, could be of optical quality

• Space and military electronics for maximum durability endurance

• Corrosion protection of metallic surfaces, heat exchangers, etc.

• Reinforcement of micro structures, bond wires

• Abrasion resistance

• Environmental protection for key pads, rubber, plastics, etc.

• Reduction of friction for rubber and plastics

• RoHS compliant

• Medical technology (Approved and has a USPXXII, Class VI Bio compatibility rating
