What do I need for a Parylene Coating Quote?

Posted by Sean Horn on Fri, Sep 21, 2018

Parylene’s (XY) reputation as the most versatile and reliable of major conformal coating materials is well-earned.  However, unlike liquid coatings –resins of acrylic, epoxy, silicone and urethane – parylene cannot be applied via relatively economical brush, dip or spray methods.  XY can be the most expensive of the major conformal coatings to use, a factor […]

Can Parylene be used as a Standalone Enclosure?

Parylene (XY) polymer conformal films are recognized for their exceptional range of desirable functional properties for coating printed circuit boards (PCBs) and similar electronics.  Beneficial properties include biocompatibility, chemical/solvent resistance, dielectric/insulative reliability, and ultra-thin pinhole-free film thicknesses between 1-50 μm.  They also generate complete surface co

Elongation Properties of Parylene

Posted by Sean Horn on Fri, Sep 7, 2018

For conformal coatings, elongation is a measure of material ductility — a specific coating’s ability to undergo significant plastic deformation before rupture.  A coating’s yield elongation is the maximum stress the material will sustain before fracture.  Thus, computed parylene (XY) elongation measurements represent the total quantity of strain the conformal film can withstand bef
