Specialty Coating Systems Announces 2010 Parylene Seminars

Specialty Coating Systems (SCS) has announced its spring 2010 parylene seminar schedule. The complimentary one-day seminars will discuss the applications of parylene polymers for the medical device, electronics, automotive and aerospace industries. A technical specialist from SCS will lead the events, which will detail the use of parylene conformal coatings for a variety of material, component and device challenges.

Parylene conformal coatings are ultra-thin, pinhole-free polymer coatings that can be used for a variety of surface treatment applications owing to their dry-film lubricity; thermal and UV stability; and  moisture, chemical and dielectric-barrier properties. Routinely used in the medical device sector, parylene can be used to treat products ranging from coronary stents to cochlear implants. Additionally, as nanotechnologies push their respective envelopes into ever smaller dimensions, performance reliability in the various environments these devices encounter has prompted many manufacturers to investigate parylene conformal coatings.

The seminars are designed to appeal to engineers in many disciplines, including R&D, design, manufacturing, quality, materials and electronics, as well as to those involved in regulatory affairs and product management.

The dates and locations of the seminars are below:

Munich, Germany; 26 March

Düsseldorf, Germany; 29 March

Paris, France;  23 April

Brussels, Belgium; 26 April

Birmingham, UK;  29 April
