parylene c dimer molecule

Parylene C Dimer

The most popular, cost-effective route to parylene protection.

The unique molecular structure of parylene C achieves reliable barrier protection faster than other parylene variants. CAS 28804-46-8

VSi offers the best transparency on purity in the market.

Higher Purity

Shorter coating Time

Lower Operating Costs

Parylene C is a popular choice as one of the fastest depositing dimers on the market, but unreported parylene variants can significantly impact deposition rates. Using highly-reliable GCMS purity testing, VSi offers the best transparency on purity on the market.

Why is parylene C purity important?

parylene c

The unique molecular structure of symmetrical dichloro paracyclophane allows it to deposit faster than other variants.

Symmetrical Dichloro Paracyclophane

The unique chemistry of parylene C produces uniform and accelerated deposition behavior.

parylene variants

However, parylene variants often found in C dimer reduce the deposition rate benefits of parylene C by extending coating times.

Tetrachloro Paracyclophane

Problematic in achieving true conformality of coating.

Trichloro Paracyclophane

Mismatched monomers impact uniformity of coating thickness.

Unsymmetrical Dichloro Paracyclophane

Lower “sticking coefficient” means slower deposition times.

Testing parylene for its true purity.

HPLC vs. GCMS test methods

High Pressure Liquid Chromatography (HPLC)

HPLC measures the proportion of parylene material vs. non-parylene material present in dimer to determine relative purity, but does not distinguish between parylene variants. As a result, parylene C dimer with high levels of speed-reducing parylene variants would still be considered ‘high-purity dimer’ by HPLC test methods.

Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS)

GC-MS offers a greater level of detail than HPLC by measuring the proportion of individual parylene variants present in dimer to determine purity at the individual parylene variant level.

At VSi, purity is exclusively reported at the transparent GC-MS level to guarantee consistent and repeatable quality parylene C dimer.
