Repairing Parylene Delamination

Posted by Sean Horn on Fri, Apr 21, 2017

Applied as a conformal coating through a unique chemical vapor deposition (CVD) process, parylene provides micron-thin, resilient barrier protection for an exceptional range of electrical assemblies.  In comparison to liquid coatings — acrylic, epoxy, silicon, urethane — parylene is the coating-of-choice for protecting printed circuits boards (PCBs) and medical devices.  It’s films

Disadvantages of Using Parylene on Electronics

Posted by Sean Horn on Fri, Sep 23, 2016

Despite parylene’s numerous benefits as a conformal coating, it has several disadvantages that should be recognized before it is used.  Failure mechanisms that can emerge from parylene coatings have limited its wider scale application in comparison to liquid conformal films such as acrylic, epoxy, silicon, and urethane.  In many situations, wet coatings can provide better […]
