diX Parylene General Properties

Kisco Conformal Coating distinguishes itself by providing top of the line coating solutions for our customers. Product design can create obstacles that are difficult to overcome; Kisco manufactures unique parylene coatings designed to excel in challenging applications.

diX SF:

UV resistance and extremely high thermal stability up to 300ºC (in air) and 450ºC (intermittent exposure or oxygen free environments). This parylene makes an excellent protective coating for outdoor lighting and solar applications and has been design for high performance in extreme operating environments.

After 2,000 hours of accelerated UV radiation testing, diX SF shows no signs of degredation or discoloration common in most coating polymers.

diX A & AM:

Bioactive parylenes designed for Medical and Biomedical applications.

These parylenes are revolutionary in Nanobiotechnology because the parylene precursors can be created with many different active functional groups. The deposited films can be patterned and their surfaces can be additionally modified using plasma treatment and silane coupling agents. Parylene surfaces can be chemically customized for specific functions; this type of surface engineering using parylenes may someday make it possible to modify the surfaces of almost any material. This technology will make it possible for surface engineering replacement materials for bio-structures, such as bone, blood vessels and tissue that will not be rejected by the body as foreign objects. Essentially, we will be able to manipulate a biological system into accepting and interfacing to synthetic replacement parts without having to suppress its immunological response with powerful drugs.

These technology improvements will also lead to electronic implants that can study internal cell processes and broadcast the data in real time. Real time monitoring and signaling of health conditions by small implanted electronic chips is already under development.
