We offer innovative and customized dimer and application technology to match your specifications and are trusted for our high-quality products, services, and capabilities to complete critical projects on time.
With the aerospace industry growing at a rapid pace, new needs quickly emerge--and with them, new challenges for building and travel projects. Top issues include:
Fortunately, there's one answer to all these problems and more: Parylene.
Parylene is unique among conformal coatings. Its vacuum deposition process, pinhole-free coverage and unmatched chemical characteristics make it a particularly reliable choice, even in extreme conditions and environments.
Here are just a few things that make Parylene particularly valuable for aerospace applications:
Flight deck controls, LED displays, nanotech, even deep space vision systems--these applications are critical for success in aerospace travel, and all can rely on Parylene for protection and durability.
Here's how Parylene is being used in the field:
1. Thermal Stability
Aerospace devices undergo a lot of stress. Parylene has strong thermal stability and can thus be used for the cockpit, engine management, flight control, and sensor systems. Parylene is vital for these areas because it can help produce true and undistorted signals for wireless devices, as well as in navigation and radar systems.
2. Radiation Protection
Being exposed over a long span of time to high energy UV radiation can cause damage to surfaces, leading to possible malfunction of equipment, such as electrical, light-generating LED in the planes. Recently developed high-temperature, UV-stable parylene formulations can mitigate the UV degradation to aircraft LED-lighting, thus preventing LED from turning to yellow and surface discoloration from extensive UV radiation exposure.
3. Communications and Electronics
Electronics within aerospace devices are subject to extreme temperatures and vibrations. There is also the risk of contaminants such as chemicals and environmental threats like dirt and dust accumulating on the electronics. Parylene is thin and covers all cracks, so it does not interfere with the functionality of the device. Electronics that may require parylene are navigation boards and flight control panels.
4. External Operations
Aircraft wing and tail applications are subject to rapidly changing environments that can not be controlled by pilots. These extreme atmospheric changes require increased security that can be provided by parylene conformal coatings. Parylene is high in strength, low in permeability, and is resistant to temperature extremes, making it an excellent choice.
With over 30 years of experience designing solutions for critical flight applications and using Parylene conformal coating, our engineers are ready to review your project and create a custom optical thin film coating that meets your project specifications.
