Parylene is considered by many to be the ultimate conformal coating for the protection of devices,components and surfaces in the electronics, instrumentation, aerospace, medical and engineering industries. Coatings perform well as dry lubricants: static and dynamic friction coefficients are equal and comparable to fluoropolymers with the advantage that they also have good wear and abrasion resistance. 1. A Poly-para-Xylylene coating film formed by the chemical vapor deposition (CVD) process. 2. Parylene is a conformal protective polymer coating material utilized to uniformly protect any component configuration on such diverse substrates as metal, glass, paper, resin, plastic, ceramic, ferrite and silicon. 3. Parylene provides exceptional protection for the most extreme environmental conditions. 4. The Parylene film is chemically inert, no acid or alkaline material will attack it in any significant manner. 5. Usages for the Parylene coating includes, implantable devices, fish tags, circuit boards (SMT, Thruhole, or mixed technology) sonar applications, ultrasonic applications, surgical devices, and elastomers.
