The advantages of Parylene treatment The most important characteristic of Parylene is that it solidifies directly from the gaseous phase at ambient temperature, giving a high-performance coating that can be applied to a wide variety of substrates. The treatment results in a linear, crystalline structure that has superior protection qualities at low application thickness. Colourless and transparent, Parylene is the only polymeric coating available on the market that is not in liquid form. Total coverage Deposition from the gaseous phase allows Parylene to infiltrate even the most difficult-to-reach places. It gives an even coating all over, sharp angles included, without creating “bridges” between adjacent surfaces. Superior degree of penetration Long, narrow tubes or deep cavities, Parylene is deposited in a predictable and controlled way. Coating thickness The deposit thickness can be controlled from 1 to 30 microns, or even more. Corrosion protection Parylene is resistant to corrosion caused by humidity, aggressive environments, solvents, gases or saline mist. Optical clarity Transparent and colourless, Parylene film absorbs practically no light in the visible spectrum. Unrestricted treatment Polymerization of Parylene occurs at ambient temperature. Conformity This unique process gives Parylene films unequalled conformity and uniformity, as well as ensuring that they free of porosity or defects. Compatibility Compatible with body tissues and blood.
