A question we often get is “Can Xbe parylene coated?”  We are often amazed at the shear number of items that can be and are coated with parylene.  A quick look at the different items that we have parylene coated over the years reveals that more often than not, parylene coating is a value add […]

What is the right conformal coating for LEDs?

Posted by Sean Horn on Thu, Jun 21, 2012

Light emitting diodes (LEDs) are a huge and growing even bigger segment of the electronics industry.  LEDs are expanding into environments that demand a higher level of protection in order for the LED to function properly.  One way to get this level of protection is by using conformal coating.

Parylene and MEMS Technology

Posted by Sean Horn on Mon, Jun 18, 2012

In the past decade, the use of Parylene as a structural material in microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) devices has attracted significant attention.  Parylene C, known for its biocompatibility, is widely used in implantable medical devices.  Parylene C is also compatible with MEMS microfabrication processes. WHAT ARE MEMS? Microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) is the technology of very small [
