Parylene is the trade name for a variety of chemical vapor deposited poly (p-xylylene) polymers used as moisture and dielectric barriers.
Although Parylene is a conformal coating it is different compared to the standard “wet” liquid conformal coatings in that it is deposited as a gas in a vacuum chamber and it is a dry process.

This method of chemical vapour deposition (CVD) and the Parylene dimer material itself give Parylene unique properties compared to other traditional conformal coatings.
