Parylene for Medical
|
| Parylene
is a thin film polymer coating that delivers unsurpassed barrier
protection in a wide range of products and applications in industries
ranging from automotive to semi-conductor and electronics. But, it is
perhaps in the medical device industry where parylene sees it’s
most diverse and widespread use. It offers a level of protection
to critical components that is unequaled by any other coating.
No other coating can boast similar properties. Parylene is
biocompatible, pinhole-free, extremely thin, and protects
against the effects of fluids and solvents. |

The benefits of parylene as a solution for your critical products are
clear:
- Biocompatible-biologically stable and chemically inert
- Non-toxic
- Conforms precisely to substrate contours
- Provides excellent dry film lubricity
- Medical devices and instruments (syringes, catheters,
implants)
- Electronic components (pcb, motors, assemblies)
- Aerospace and Aviation electronics and other components
- LEDS (Displays, SMD, circuit arrays)
- MEMS
- Nanotech
- Semiconductor products (probes, membranes, other)
- Silicone gaskets, seals, O-rings
- Rare Earth Magnets
- Glass
- Barrier protection against chemical, moisture and bodily fluids
- Ultra-thin with deep crevice penetration
- Unparalleled dielectric properties
- Adds minimal weight and volume
- Withstands sterilization (E-beam,
Gamma, EtO, Autoclave, Etc.)

Parylene Engineering provides the most extensive line of
premiere parylene products, all of which are far superior in purity.
Parylene Engineering's dimer is at 99.9% purity while others are at 93%. Our most widely
used parylene dimers, C and N, are in full compliance with ISO standards
as related to implants, cytotoxicity, tissue sensitization and
compatibility, among others. We have clean room facilities in our
coating centers in the US and in 10 locations around the world to serve
you. Our products comply with the European Union’s Restriction on Use of
Hazardous Substances (RoHS) and meet requirements for USP Class VI. In
addition, Parylene Conformal Coating maintains an FDA Drug Master File
which, upon request, can be referenced by our customers. |
