VSI KAPhesion adhesion promotion for KAPTON® and Polyimide surfaces
Reinforces delicate wire bonds by approximately 2X
Parylene provides a dry lubricity coating on silicon to prevent “stickiness”
Applications include medical device cables and tubing, catheters, and medical seals.
Parylene’s low coefficient of friction is comparable to Teflon (~ 0.25 μs per ASTM D 1894) and makes it ideal as a dry-film lubricant.
Disciplined research and development
COMPLETE PARYLENE COATING SOLUTIONS
Parylene is an ultra-conformal, thin-film polymer coating deposited via chemical vapor deposition (CVD) at micron (um) thicknesses and has advantages to PTFE and a coefficient of friction comparable to Teflon
Expertise in Small intricate parts requiring precision
Truly conformal at all thicknesses above 0.5um
Parylene equivalent to PTFE
Dry lubricity, can coat silicon
Superior Dielectric Strength
Extremely low weight at typical thicknesses
Implantable-FDA approved
Creates a micron barrier Layer providing protection from:
Moisture & Humidity
Chemicals, including Acids and Solvents
Dirt & Environmental contaminants
Prevention of tin whisker growth
