Posted by Sean Horn on Wed, Sep 18, 2013

More and more, cars aren’t just made of steel, aluminum, plastic and silicon. Parylene is becoming one of the most useful tools in an automaker’s arsenal. From protecting internal sensors and circuit boards to keeping LED indicator lights bright and color-accurate, Parylene conformal coatings are an important part of protecting today’s sensitive automotive electronics.

Managing Parylene Adhesion

Posted by Sean Horn on Tue, Sep 10, 2013

It is imperative to obtain proper adhesion of the coating to the substrate in order to truly reap the benefits of parylene conformal coating. Poor parylene adhesion, after all, can negate some of parylene’s most-prized properties, including corrosion resistance, chemical resistance, moisture resistance, and dielectric strength. So, it’s in an engineer’s best interest to understan
