Solvent Use in Parylene Deposition

Posted by Sean Horn on Fri, May 26, 2017

For various reasons, even people familiar with the variety of existing conformal coatings, their strengths, weaknesses and respective use often assume that the chemical vapor deposition (CVD) process used for parylene films incorporates a solvent, as an integral component of the procedure.  This is false, for the reasons detailed below.

Batch Size Considerations for Parylene Production

The parylenes consist of a range of para-xylylene polymers whose desirable physical and electrical properties support expansive utilization as conformal coatings for electronic and medical devices  Parylene films are applied to substrates via a chemical vapor deposition (CVD) process, which deposits monomeric parylene vapor homogeneously and deeply into the surface of printed circuit boards (PCBs

How to Estimate Parylene Coating Costs

Posted by Sean Horn on Fri, Jul 29, 2016

Often considered the ultimate conformal coating, parylene is well suited to protect many types of products and devices. At the same time, parylene is generally the most expensive of the five major coating types, which means estimating the potential cost of your parylene coating project is essential. The Factors That Go Into Estimating Parylene Coating […]
