Evaluating Parylene Engineering Coating Service for a New Application

Many customers search for a coating solution to extend the life of a part or to solve a particular issue that they are having with a part. To evaluate Parylene coating as a solution, customers often have sample parts coated. This is commonly called an Engineering Run.

There are 2 methods of beginning an Engineering Run with Parylene Engineering:

1. Most new customers begin by discussing their application with an Parylene Engineering sales or engineering associate, so that we understand the nature of your application and can recommend if Parylene will be successful. After discussing your requirements and timeline for the parts, and any associated costs, parts can be sent to Parylene Engineering for an Engineering Run.

To discuss your application, please call 425-861-9700.

2. If you prefer to initiate an engineering run online, you may fill out an electronic form with detailed information about your project. Once we receive this information, an Parylene Engineering sales or engineering associate will review it and contact you with any additional questions about the application and to discuss any associated costs. You will also receive a copy of the form via e-mail so that you can enclose a copy of it when you send your parts.

To use the online submission process for an Engineering Run please fill out the form below completely.

From the information you supply and after evaluation of the parts, Parylene Engineering Engineers will determine the best method of coating your parts, which may include cleaning, masking and fixturing, in addition to the type of Parylene and the desired thickness. Upon completion of the Engineering Run, the coated parts will be sent back to you for evaluation.

Turnaround Time and Cost Information

Our minimum lot charge for Parylene Type C coating is $400.00 per lot, and $450.00 per lot for Parylene Type N.

We typically identify our labor content, thickness requirements, other requirements, etc. Then we provide per unit cost. Every shipment then would have to meet our minimum lot quantity. For example, if an item (i.e. circuit board) was quoted for $10.00 per board. Then we’ll have to receive at least quantity 40 boards per shipment to constitute a lot. Any quantity over 40 will be charged per board charge. If we receive 41 boards for example, then the total purchase order would be $410.00 and so on.

Because we coat all kinds of items (circuit boards, covers, shields, housings, surgical devices, Elastomer rubber, overlays, displays, gaskets, seals, ultrasound devices, catheters, moving parts, ferrite cores, magnetic, power supplies, etc) it is difficult to determine your cost per item without submitting some information about your part.

Typically, we’ll need the footprint, quantities, areas to be free of coating identified, and thickness requirements. We might still need additional information based on certain spec requirements, etc.

As an example, for circuit boards, we charge anywhere between $5.00 to $300.00 per board. Many factors determine cost like cleanliness requirements, labor content (areas to be free of coating), thickness requirements, size of the board, and quantities.

We gladly honor any Non Disclosure Agreements that might be required to facilitate further discussions about your particular part.

Typically, we would like to limit our cycle time from three to five working days. We are however, aggressively trying to reduce our cycle times without compromising our quality. Not having a cure cycle for parylene helps significantly in that regard. Faster turn time is always available with prior arrangement.

We regularly support same day, or next day turn requirements as needed.

Please email or call for further details.
