INDIANAPOLIS, IN, June 9, 2005 — Specialty Coating Systems (SCS), a business of Cookson Electronics, announces that their Parylene conformal coating services and raw materials, or SCS Parylene dimers, are now RoHS-compliant.
"We conducted independent laboratory testing to validate compliance of the SCS Parylenes," says Alan Hardy, SCS electronics and automotive market manager. "SCS provides Parylene coating services and dimer to manufacturers of electrical and electronics equipment on a worldwide basis through a network of 10 coating facilities. SCS understands the importance and implications of the RoHS directive for our customers, and wanted to be proactive in announcing the compliance of SCS Parylene services and dimers well before the July 2006 deadline."
The Parylene thin-film polymer conformal coatings protect critical components in the electronics, automotive, military and medical industries. Dimer, the precursor to the finished films, is vaporized and then pyrolized into a gaseous monomer before its deposition as a polymeric film within a room-temperature evacuated chamber. The process does not use any solvents or catalysts, and no cure forces are needed, resulting in pinhole-free films with notable barrier and dielectric properties.
