FREE STANDING PARYLENE MEMBRANE

Parylene films open new applications when used as a free standing membrane while keeping its outstanding properties.

Parylene is a polymer material, biocompatible, hydrophobic, and resistant to the vast majority of organic solvents, and even strong acids and bases. It is elaborated without solvent from an original process known as Vapor Polymerization Deposition. Due to its strong penetration ability (ideal for complex 3D shapes) and its excellent barrier properties, Parylene coating has been extensively used as an encapsulation material in various industries (electronic, medical, sensors, MEMS, etc). More recently, the use of free standing Parylene films opens new possibilities to further make profit of these exceptional properties.
