Drawbacks of Parylene Coating

Posted by Sean Horn on Thu, Mar 5, 2015

Parylene has a well-deserved reputation as one of the leading choices for conformal coatings. For many applications, it is the best choice. However, there are some real parylene disadvantages, as well. For many applications, other conformal coatings such as acrylic, epoxy, silicone or urethane offer better performance, lower cost or both.

Protecting MEMS with Parylene Coatings: No Small Feat

Posted by Sean Horn on Fri, Feb 27, 2015

As engineers continue to seek out the most powerful technologies packed into the smallest footprints possible, the use of microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) are on the rise. At the forefront of progress in miniaturization, MEMS enable small form factors without sacrificing precision and reliability. In many cases, MEMS technologies even offer an increase in performance over […]
