diX makes a Poly-para-Xylylene coating film formed by the chemical vapor deposition (CVD) process.
The coating film is completely pinhole free and the film thickness can be uniformly controlled in the micron range to conform to any irregular shape, whether it has a sharp edge or a complicated internal surface without any thermal stress.
