Posted by Sean Horn on Fri, Aug 30, 2019

Parylene (XY — poly(para-xylylene)) organic polymers are highly regarded through a wide range of industries – aerospace/defense, automotive, commercial, industrial, medical – for their utility as conformal coatings.  Chemically inert, colorless, linear/polycrystalline and optically clear, XY coatings provide exceptional barrier protection, dielectric reliability, and insulation for prin

Tubing and Parylene Coating

Posted by Sean Horn on Fri, Jun 15, 2018

Operationally, a tube is a hollow cylinder composed of glass, metal, plastic or a similar substance, designed to contain or transport something, typically liquids or gases.  When many people think of tubing, they envision its use in construction or mechanics.  Tubing of this nature is defined not only by its purpose and the stuff its […]

Parylene Protects Stents

Posted by Sean Horn on Fri, Dec 16, 2016

Biocompatible parylene conformal coatings provide superior protection for medical stents.  They represent an enabling technology consistently applied to medical devices of all types for 35 years, to diminish problems stemming from surface microporosity and consequent biofluid corrosion after implant.  Providing a reliable barrier to chemicals and moisture, parylene’s static and dynamic coeffic
