Product catalog summary
Overview of Parylene Coatings:
Parylene coatings are derived from the polymer group poly(para-xylylene) and are known for their waterproof, insulating, chemically inert, and biocompatible properties. These coatings are used across various industries including electronics, medical devices, aerospace, automotive, and lighting due to their ability to conform to complex surfaces and provide a pinhole-free, chemically resistant barrier.
Applications:
  • Electronics: Used in PCBs, sensors, semiconductor devices, and magnets.
  • Medical Devices: Applied to cannulas, catheters, biopsy needles, and implants.
  • Aerospace: Utilized in navigation electronics, cockpit instrumentation, and satellite electronics.
  • Automotive: Employed in sensors, engine electronics, and battery systems.
  • LEDs: Used in electronic billboards and various lighting applications.
  • Industry: Applied to seals, O-rings, pipes, and containers.
Advantages and Properties:
  • Conformal coating that adapts to complex contours.
  • Chemically insoluble and resistant to a wide range of chemicals.
  • High dielectric strength and low friction coefficient.
  • Hydrophobic with a contact angle of H2O between 92° and 98°.
  • Transparent in the visible wavelength range and biocompatible.
Parylene Types:
  • Parylene N: Halogen-free, good dielectric properties, FDA approved, temperature resistance up to 60°C.
  • Parylene C: Contains one chlorine atom, excellent barrier properties, FDA approved, temperature resistance up to 80°C.
  • Parylene D: Contains two chlorine atoms, good mechanical properties, temperature resistance up to 100°C.
  • Parylene F-VT4: Contains four fluorine atoms, high temperature resistance up to 200°C.
  • Parylene F-AF4: Contains four fluorine atoms on aliphatic groups, highest temperature resistance up to 350°C, FDA approved.
Process Description:
The deposition of parylene coatings is achieved through a vacuum-assisted chemical vapor deposition (CVD) process. The dimer is sublimated and pyrolyzed to form reactive monomers, which polymerize on cold surfaces to form a thin layer of parylene. A cold trap is used to prevent damage to the vacuum pump by capturing unreacted monomers.
Key Properties and Comparisons:
Various types of parylene differ in density, refractive index, tensile modulus, yield strength, and other mechanical and thermal properties. Parylene F-AF4 offers the highest temperature resistance and lowest friction coefficient, making it suitable for specialized applications.

Parylene-2

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...
