Common Parylene Problems

Posted by Sean Horn on Fri, Jul 15, 2016

In addition to cracking, a range of associated issues may interfere with successful coating of parylene films.  Because it is applied via CVD, parylene generates a structurally continuous film covering a PCB or similar assembly.  In CVD, the interaction of vapor-phase chemical reactants formulate a non-volatile solid film on a substrate, useful for a variety […]

Parylene is often considered the ultimate conformal coating for the protection of devices, components, and surfaces in the electronics, instrumentation, aerospace, medical, and engineering industries.

Does Parylene Adhere Chemically?

Posted by Sean Horn on Fri, Apr 1, 2016

Parylene only adheres to substrates mechanically, and this can require assistance from additive substances; parylene’s chemically-based adherence is nonexistent.  Adhesion is a consequence of molecular attraction stimulating the surface unification of two dissimilar substances; their joining creates a significant physical bond between them.  Of the two primary types of adhesion, chemical adhes
