Monomer units of the most common parylene types Raw material - Dimer powder What are parylene coatings: Parylene is the abbreviation for the polymer group named poly (para-xylylene). These polymers consist of differently substituted para-xylylenes. The initial state for the coating is given by the so-called dimers. A dimer is a molecule composite which consists of two identical subunits, namely the monomers. Advantages and properties: Parylene coatings offer a wide range of benefits. Parylene coatings … • are perfectly conformal: that means that the coating is adapting also on complex substrate...
