Announcing the Addition of a Close Tolerance High Performance Parylene System
San Jose, CA - Plasma Ruggedized Solutions the leading service provider of conformal coatings recently acquired and installed its third Parylene deposition system. This close tolerance high performance system features continuous process monitoring, closed-loop monomer pressure control and precise deposition rate and thickness. It has the capability to run up to 9.0" substrates and provide reliable results. The coater will deposit Parylene across a range of 5,000 angstroms to 75 microns with a typical tolerance of ±10%.
The vacuum deposition process consists of heating the solid Parylene dimer to a vaporous state, then re-condensing it on the target assemblies to be coated. Parylene coating offers many advantages over wet-process or dip-process conformal coating:
- Ideal for applications in medical, military, electronics, aerospace, and automotive industries
- Delivers thinner film than other coating processes, allowing assemblies to be coated thoroughly without an increase in their size
- Offers extremely high chemical resistance and superior electrical properties, making it adaptable for nearly any project
- Vapor deposition process allows Parylene coatings to be uniform in thickness and completely pinhole free
- Parylene coating ensures complete conformity, coating the entire assembly and leaving no areas open to exposure.
