IoT (Internet of Things) & Parylene Conformal Coatings

Posted by Sean Horn on Fri, Nov 27, 2020

The Internet of things (IoT) allows us to connect everyday things to the internet. It is defined as a network of devices, vehicles, appliances, and other things that are connected. IoT is possible with the use of sensors, actuators, electronics, and software embedded into the later. Data collected from these physical devices are sent back […]

Can Color be Added to Parylene?

Posted by Sean Horn on Fri, Oct 9, 2020

Parylene is a conformal coating exhibiting extraordinary properties such as high mechanical strength and biocompatibility. It is a transparent (colorless) film in the UV-V is range of the solar spectrum (Parylene N and C absorb below ≈280 nm). The high transmittance of the polymers in the visible region (90%) make them eligible for use in […]

What is the Service Life of Parylene?

Posted by Sean Horn on Fri, Sep 25, 2020

Under ambient conditions (room temperature, in air) Parylene is a lifetime conformal coating. The exposure to environmental stressors like temperature, oxygen, UV-light and chemicals can degrade the lifetime especially when two or more are existent at the same time.
