The
applications for diX parylene coating are unlimited. As companies discover this
type of coating for their products they are realizing the benefits and
advantages to using it over other types of coating materials. The last several
years has seen enormous growth in the parylene coating industry. We expect to
see this outsized growth continue in the years ahead as more people discover the
benefits of parylene. Below are a few of the many applications that have
benefited from diX parylene.
Aerospace & Military
Whether in an airplane instrumentation panel or in other areas of commercial,
passenger or military craft; diX Parylene coating provides a solution to the harshest
conditions without failure. Mission critical uses are the specialty of this
unique material. The properties of moisture resistance and chemical resistance
are clearly important in this industry. diX Parylene performs consistently time after
time in the most challenging environments.
Soft Ferrite Cores
In the ferrite industry, diX C Parylene coating is used as a dielectric to coat inductors,
resistors, chokes and transformers that are used in the telecommunications
industry with applications such as printed circuit boards and voice over
internet. Ferrite is also used for computers, HF Power Supplies, CATV, TV's
VCR's, vending machines and interference suppression devices. diX C is a
perfect fit for the ferrite industry because, like ferrite, diX also has high
electrical resistivity. These complementary properties allow for a thin film
dielectric that prevents magnet wire from shorting to the core as well as
allowing for more windings with the increasingly small geometries. With the
large quantities of high permeability ferrite products that need coating and the
relative size of some of the parts, a gas phase coating process is the best
solution. Other conformal coatings do not provide the same accuracy or results.

Printed Circuit Boards (PCB's)
Printed circuit board coating is one of the main uses for
the diX Parylene material. We meet military specification MIL-I-46058C type XY for
PCB's and also UL Approval. PCB's are used in a wide variety of industries
for increasingly diverse applications. For example, they are used in computers,
instrumentation, medical devices, cell phones, and utility meters to name just a
few. Any PCB that is placed in a harsh environment performs best when parylene
coated.
Medical
The potential for growth in this industry is both exciting and increasing steadily.
Both diX C and diX N Parylene coating materials are widely used on medical
devices. Meeting FDA class VI and having excellent surface properties diX has been
chosen to coat such items as cannula, pacemaker components, shunts, forming
mandrels and guide wires. diX has a dimer purity greater than 99%, which
produces a reliable, repeatable and high crystalline polymer designed to meet
the toughest industry standard.
Rubber Products
Optimal for use with these products because of the dry
film lubricity and chemical resistivity that diX provides, it is used on
silicone rubber keypads for cell phones, computers, calculators as well as
rubber products used in the medical field. Keypad life is increased
exponentially by reducing the coefficient of friction and preventing finger oil
from attacking the pad printing.
