What is Parylene?

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.

For Parylene there are five key areas that Nexus can help with.

These are:
