Parylene plays a key role on many of today’s most advanced medical implantables and devices across the health care technology spectrum. This discussion will review the basic chemistry of Parylene, the vacuum deposition polymerization process and differentiating features of conformal coatings. It also will discuss specific properties that are the result of the molecule-by-molecule generation of the film, examples of applications that benefit from Parylene, and how under-served technologies in the medical industry can benefit from these properties to increase reliability and performance.
SCS is a leader in Parylene coating services and technologies with eleven coating facilities around the world, including six in the Americas, three in Europe and two in Asia. Additionally, the company has more than 40 years of applications experience in the medical device, electronics, automotive, aerospace and defense industries.
