Applied in a gaseous form to component surfaces through a chemical vapor deposition (CVD) process, parylene (Poly-para-xylylene) films protect printed circuit boards (PCBs) and similar electrical assemblies.  Gaseous CVD application supports efficient coating of complex component surfaces characterized by crevices, exposed internal areas, or sharp edges.  Depending on the specific use, parylene

Parylene Varietals:  Matching Material to Purpose A common generic name for Poly-para-xylylene, parylene forms a protective plastic film when applied to substrate surfaces.  Application is achieved through a chemical vapor deposition (CVD) process in a vacuum, as a gas to targeted substrate surfaces.

Parylene Conformal Coatings and UV Light

Parylene has numerous outdoor applications.  However, a major drawback of most parylene types is limited resistance to direct contact with UV radiation.  Daylight is the most common source of UV light.  Prolonged exposure to its high energy radiation can cause objects extensive surface damage and lead to eventual malfunction of electrical light-generating assemblies within.
