BLUE SPARK™ Parylene Dimer
BLUE SPARK™ PARYLENE C is a UV Fluorescing member of the Parylene Dimer family. This material is a high performance, high purity dimer designed to produce a parylene polymer film yielding excellent electrical, chemical, and physical properties while allowing for UV Light Inspection. The material has been tested and/or certified to meet or exceed the performance requirements of MIL-I-46058C, IPC-CC-830B, UL 94V-0, UL746, and NASA Low Outgassing (ASTM E595) as a finished CVD Parylene Film.
BLUE SPARK™ Parylene Dimer Physical Properties
The general physics of BLUE SPARK™ UV Fluorescing and its application methodology offers unique Tin Whisker mitigation performance in a thin film solution. Furthermore, it provides excellent resistance to water, salt spray, inorganic acids, organic solvents, corrosive gases and various other chemical and mechanical based threats. The material polymerizes at room temperature while under vacuum and exhibits good adhesion to most surfaces.
Our PRS engineering consultants would be pleased to provide any advice on surface preparation and substrate cleanliness prior to a customer’s chemical vapor deposition (CVD) application process.

BLUE SPARK™ Increased Adhesion Strength
Adhesion is a major attribute of the PRS product. BLUE SPARK™ offers increased adhesive strength over conventional untreated Parylene dimers without the addition of adhesion promoters/additives. However, this attribute can be further enhanced during the PRS proprietary dispersion process of manufacturing by addition of processes involving vacuum plasma and a special adhesion promoter.
BLUE SPARK™ UV Fluorescing Benefits
Plasma Ruggedized Solution’s BLUE SPARK™ Parylene Dimer features a UV tracer that is integrated into the dimer. This allows the deposited film to be inspected under an ultraviolet light. Thus, saving time and significant cost in equipment and personnel. BLUE SPARK™’s UV fluorescing agent is an optical brightener that may also provide a collateral benefit of increasing the performance of the final film deposit. Other features and benefits include:
- UV FLUORESCING, this material offers the unique ability to inspect the finished Parylene film under UV (Black) Light Inspection while maintaining the high-performance properties offered by Parylene.
