Parylene for Military Sensors

Posted by Sean Horn on Fri, Jan 17, 2020

Today, security systems rely on different types of advanced, intelligent and connected sensor technologies. Application areas are diverse: radar systems, vision, night vision (IR-cameras), acceleration- orientation-location detection (accelerometers, gyroscopes, GPS), chemicals (neural toxins, other toxic gasses, liquids, materials), wearable sensors (body temperature, relative humidity, location

Military Conformal Coatings: Acrylic vs Urethane vs Parylene

Posted by Sean Horn on Fri, Nov 24, 2017

Conformal Coatings For Military Electronics Military electronics need to operate without fail under conditions of extreme duress. The role of conformal coatings — acrylic, urethane, and parylene — as protective insulators of the printed circuit board (PCB) assemblies that guide automated military systems is well-documented, and continually under review to develop enhanced performance p
