What Temperature Will My Parts See During the Parylene Coating Process?

Posted by Sean Horn on Fri, Nov 13, 2020

Parylene coating process involves 3 steps: sublimation, pyrolysis, and polymerization. At the first step, which takes place between 120°C – 175°C, the dimer parylene powder precursor is sublimized and pyrolysed forming the monomers (see Figure). Next, Pyrolysis takes place which is defined as the thermal decomposition of materials at elevated temperatures (above 500 °C) in […]

Improving Patient Outcomes with Parylene-Coated Stents

Posted by Sean Horn on Tue, Oct 27, 2020

Coronary stents are tubular medical implants that serve as a scaffold to open clogged or narrowed arteries in an effort to increase blood flow and reduce the potential for adverse cardiac events such as heart attacks. And providing critical support to these support structures is parylene conformal coating.

What Types of Materials can be Parylene Coated?
