"While the barrier properties of parylene are unmatched, it adds minimal mass to coated surfaces and contributes no cure or thermal expansion forces to threaten delicate components."
Article Summary
- Parylene provides competitive protective barrier properties to protect components from the environment and corrosion.
- Impediments to Parylene’s wide adoption have been cost and scalability.
- HZO’s proprietary coating equipment is made to specialize in mass production and can scale up to coating hundreds, thousands, or millions of electrical sub-assemblies a day.
