    Parylene 101 Conformal Coating Fact Sheet

    Uploaded by

    Eero Iiskola
    Parylene is a conformal coating that is applied through vapor deposition, allowing precise control of thickness. The process begins with dimer raw material that is heated to a gaseous state and split into monomers that spontaneously polymerize on a substrate's surface, uniformly coating its entire surface. Parylene coatings are beneficial as they are pinhole-free, chemically inert, and provide moisture and chemical barriers for applications such as printed circuit boards, stents, and catheters. Diamond-MT is a company that specializes in applying parylene coatings through their facility in Johnstown, Pennsylvania.

    Parylene Process
    Parylene is applied through a deposition process which allows for precise operator
    control of thickness. The process begins with the raw material, dimer. The dimer is
    reduced to a gaseous state in the vaporizer chamber. The vapor is then drawn into the
    furnace and heated to very
    high temperatures to allow for
    sublimation and the splitting of
    the molecule to a monomer.
    The result is a parylene
    coating formed by
    spontaneous polymerization
    at ambient temperature in the
    deposition chamber. The
    coating literally grows one
    molecule at a time on the
    substrate surface, assuring
    entirely conformal and uniform
    layers of parylene coating are
    applied. These layers can be applied anywhere from angstroms to microns in
    thickness. There is no liquid phase during the parylene process, so a further curing
    process is not required in order to facilitate parylenes optimal properties.

    Parylene film coatings are free of fillers, stabilizers, solvents, catalysts, and plasticizers.
    Parylene N is a carbon-hydrogen molecule and parylene C is a carbon hydrogen
    molecule with a chlorine atom on the benzene ring. Parylene coatings can be applied to
    most materials that are vacuum stable. It has been
    successfully applied to paper, plastics, and metals.
    Parylene provides a moisture and chemical barrier and is
    highly resistant to the damaging effects of the body.
    Parylene offers dry-film lubricity, with static and coefficients
    of friction near those of Teflon. Its most common
    applications are printed circuit boards, nitinol, precious
    metals, needles, and rubber products.

    Main Benefits of Parylene
    Parylene coatings are completely conformal, have a
    uniform thickness and are pinhole free. As a result,
    component configurations with sharp edges, points,
    flat surfaces, crevices or exposed internal surfaces
    are coated uniformly without voids.
    Parylene is chemically and biologically inert and
    stable and make excellent barrier material.
    Parylene has excellent electrical properties: low dielectric constant and loss with
    good high-frequency properties; good dielectric strength; and high bulk and
    surface resistance.

    Parylene is transparent and can be used to coat optical elements.
    Parylene complies with USP Class VI
    Plastics requirements and are MIL-I-
    46058C / IPC-CC-830B listed.
    Coatings are truly conformal, of uniform
    controllable thickness, and are completely
    pinhole-free at thicknesses greater than
    0.5.

    Common Applications of Parylene
    Printed Circuit boards
    Cardiac-Assist Devices
    Stents
    Catheters
    Needles
    Magnets
    Motors
    Mandrels
    Elasomesteric Keypads
    LED assemblies
    Nitinol
