Specialty Coating Systems to Host Webinar

November 15, 2011 (Indianapolis, Indiana) – Specialty Coating Systems will be hosting a free, educational webinar entitled "Advances in Conformal Coatings: Enhancing the Reliability of Innovative Technologies" on Thursday, December 1, 2011, at 9 a.m. GMT. The webinar will be presented by Lonny Wolgemuth, Sr. Market Specialist, and Dr. Rakesh Kumar, Vice President of Technology.

As devices and components become smaller and increasingly complex, they present unique challenges for many conformal coatings. Poly(para-xylylene), better known as Parylene, is an ultra-thin, inert, transparent coating that meets these challenges. Parylene provides highly useful dielectric and barrier properties per unit thickness, as well as extreme chemical inertness and freedom from pinholes. The coating is also biocompatible. Parylene protects components and devices, including circuit card assemblies, MEMS, sensors, LEDs, cores, lab-on-a-chip devices, pacemakers, stents, and cochlear implants, to name only a few.

The 60-minute webinar will address:

• Overview of ultra-thin (micron-level thickness), pinhole-free Parylene coatings
• Parylene’s unique properties that enhance reliability of components
• How Parylene is applied to result in ultra-thin, very conformal coatings
• Examples of applications that benefit from Parylene’s properties
• New advances that have been made in adhesion technologies
• Advanced applications for Parylene

The webinar will wrap up with a live Q&A session with technical staff from Specialty Coating Systems. For more information or to register for the webinar, visit SCSwebinars.com or call +317.244.1200.
