Parylene has been used in different applications such as:
-
Hydrophobic coating (moisture barrier in e.g. bio-medical hoses)
-
Barrier (e.g. for filtering, membranes or valves)
-
Electronics in harsh environments
-
Microwave electronics as well as for space, avionics and military applications
-
Sensors in harsh environments (e.g. fuel/air sensors in vehicles)
-
Corrosion protection on metal surfaces
-
Reinforcements of micro structures
-
Abrasion protection (protection from wear)
-
Protection of plastics, rubber and similar materials in harmful environments
-
Reduce friction on e.g. catheters, acupuncture needles and micro electromechanical systems (MEMS).
-
Electric insulation in very limited spaces (e.g. as dielectric in VLSI circuits).
