Due to Parylene's superior coating properties, the range of parylene coating applications has expanded from extreme-service printed circuit boards to a wide array of industrial, medical, and electronic uses. The parylene coating process offers the advantage of coatings that are formed from a gaseous phase with an intermediate liquid stage. This unique parylene coating process results in conformal coatings that cover sharp edges, points, crevices, and exposed internal surfaces very uniformly and with an absence of pinholes.

Parylene coatings are becoming more popular and getting the correct parylene coating thickness is important. Too little parylene coating can mean incomplete coverage, pinholes, and reduced wear ratings. Too thick of a coating of parylene can reduce device performance and is a waste of precursor material.

In addition, proper parylene coating thickness measurement helps you maximize the benefits of parylene coatings, including their high reliability, light weight, stress-free impact, transparency, and bio-compatibility.

Filmetrics^® Parylene Thickness Measurement Systems

Filmetrics has over ten years of experience in measuring parylene thickness. Our most popular solution for conformal coating thickness is the Filmetrics F3-CS small witness / coupon sample measurement instrument, which was designed specifically for measuring parylene coating thickness on flat surfaces. Product options are available for parylene thickness measurement on curved surfaces and for extending beyond the standard thickness range of 0.25-75 microns.

Filmetrics offers free trial measurements of parylene conformal coating samples, with results typically available in 1-2 days. Contact our thin-film experts to discuss your parylene thickness measurement requirements.
