Produced with our Parylene Coaters by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) under vacuum.

Applied to metallic, non-metallic and even organic materials.

Truly conformal, perfectly covering complex shapes

Penetrating even within narrow spaces and crevices.

Thin, flexible, and very resistant to thermal cycling, not cracking, not shrinking.

Ten times more hermetic than epoxy resins allowing large volume and mass reduction.

THIN FILM PACKAGING WITH PARYLENE

AVAILABLE IN VARIOUS GRADES

CX-PROTECT is available in several Parylene grades

Parylene-N: non-modified molecule with the best electrical insulation properties
Parylene-C: Chlorine-modified with the lowest permeation rates
Parylene-F: Fluorine-modified with the best temperature stability

Any grade available in the thickness range of 200 nm to 30 um.

Carefully select the Parylene grade based on operating and process conditions.

TRULY CONFORMAL COATING

The unique vapor phase CVD deposition technology of CX-PROTECT

Creates truly 3D homogeneous conformal coatings. Penetrates even small cavities and crevices.
Excludes the disadvantages of liquid coatings.
Is free of cracks, stresses and pinholes.
Is smooth and conform to substrate roughness.

A BIOCOMPATIBLE MATERIAL

CX-PROTECT is made of Parylene, a polymer that

It is fully biocompatible, FDA-approved, and has been used in medical devices for many decades. It meets the biocompatibility standards of USP Class VI and ISO 10993
improves the biocompatibility of materials building a protective barrier layer around them.
is pure and free of solvent, catalyst, curing agent, or plasticizers.
is compatible with most sterilization processes like steam, gamma, or ETO sterilization.

BUILDING HERMETIC BARRIER

CX-PROTECT creates a barrier against contaminants, chemicals, gases, and moisture. It has very low gas and water vapor permeation rates, which are ten times smaller than epoxy. This provides protection with much less weight compared to tropicalization sprays.

ELECTRIC INSULATION

CX-PROTECT is an excellent electrical insulator coating with

a high breakdown voltage as high as 7000V for 25 um film
low dissipation factor as low as 0.0002 for Parylene N grade
high volume resistivity
properties remaining constant over temperature changes.

CX-PROTECT is the ideal thin film electrical insulation for narrow, or space-limited designs.

COMPATIBILITY WITH VARIOUS TYPES OF PCB

CX-PROTECT is compatible with rigid and flexible PCB and PCBA (glass fibers, polyimides) with or without solder masks.

CX-PROTECT on PCB can withstand high-temperature soldering and hundreds of thermal cycles (Parylene-F grade) without peeling off.

EXCELLENT LIGHT TRANSMISSION FOR OPTICAL APPLICATIONS

CX-PROTECT is highly transparent in the complete visible range and thus extremely useful for optical applications. The refraction index lies between 1.5 to 1.6.

For special optical or aesthetic applications like photonic or watchmaking, COAT-X has developed the ParyCLEAR grade.

TEMPERATURE STABILITY

CX-PROTECT is stable up to 350°C (Parylene-F grade) without significant loss of properties. Inert or oxygen-free environment allows even application at higher temperatures and longer time.

SOLVENT AND ACID STABILITY

CX-PROTECT is a great barrier against harsh chemicals. It resists most solvents, acids, and bases used in industry without dissolving.

COEFFICIENT OF FRICTION

You can use CX-PROTECT as a dry lubricant or to make polymers less sticky because it has low friction.

MECHANICAL PROPERTIES

CX-PROTECT is made of Parylene, a high-performance plastic with excellent mechanical properties

COATING SERVICE

COAT-X offers CX-PROTECT coating services for medical devices, electronic PCBs, industrial parts, jewelry, and watches

Last generation plasma-enhanced chemical vapour deposition (PE-CVD) machines are available for the quick handling purchase orders.

Medical devices

COAT-X is ISO 13485 certified and is thus allowed to coat medical devices for legal manufacturers.
