As Parylene conformal coating specialists, we at Advanced Coating understand the critical importance of providing optimal protection solutions for your sophisticated components and devices. Our position as the exclusive national distributor of GALXYL® dimer enables us to offer both Parylene C and Parylene N commercial variants, creating substantial value for clients across diverse industries and applications.
Understanding the Parylene Advantage
The unique properties of Parylene coatings have made them indispensable in industries where reliability under challenging conditions is essential. Unlike conventional liquid coatings applied through brushing, spraying, or dipping processes, our Parylene coatings are deposited through vapor deposition polymerization that creates an ultra-thin, pinhole-free protective layer that conforms perfectly to any substrate geometry.
This specialized process results in exceptional protection: a transparent, lightweight polymer layer offering outstanding barrier properties against moisture, chemicals, and environmental contaminants while providing excellent electrical insulation. With our comprehensive Parylene offerings, we can tailor these protective solutions precisely to your specific requirements.
The Strategic Value of Dual Parylene Capability
Our GALXYL® distribution provides concrete advantages for your projects in several important ways:
1. Optimized Solutions for Specific Applications
With both Parylene C and Parylene N at our disposal, we can recommend and implement the optimal coating solution for your exact requirements:
When Parylene N (Poly-Para-Xylylene) benefits your project:
- Superior dielectric strength for enhanced electrical insulation
- Maximum penetration capabilities for complex geometries and microscopic spaces
- Improved performance at higher frequencies
- Enhanced gas and moisture barrier properties
- Exceptional crevice penetration for the most intricate components
When Parylene C (Poly-Monochloro-Para-Xylylene) better serves your needs:
- Superior resistance to chemicals and solvents
- Enhanced mechanical strength and elongation properties
- Lower permeability to moisture and corrosive gases
- Faster deposition rates for improved processing efficiency
- Specialized biocompatibility profile for certain medical applications
Rather than adapting your project to a limited coating selection, we adapt our coating solution to your project's specific demands, ensuring optimal protection and performance.
2. Supply Chain Security for Critical Projects
In today's complex global supply environment, material availability is as crucial as material performance. Our exclusive distribution agreement for GALXYL® strengthens our ability to serve clients consistently by providing:
- Protection against market shortages that could impact project timelines
- More predictable pricing models for improved budgeting
- Consistent quality control from raw material to finished coating
- Reduced lead times from specification to implementation
- Enhanced planning capabilities for large-scale or long-term projects
For clients in regulated industries like medical devices, aerospace, and defense, this arrangement ensures material traceability and supply predictability, simplifying regulatory compliance efforts.
3. Access to Comprehensive Technical Expertise
With material knowledge spanning multiple Parylene variants, we function as a technical partner with deeper insights into protective coating solutions. This expanded expertise allows us to offer:
- Custom coating protocols optimized for specific applications
- Comparative testing between different variants to determine ideal solutions
- Hybrid or multi-layer coating options when single variants cannot meet all requirements
- Early design consultation with material-specific recommendations
- Advanced technical documentation to support regulatory submissions
Industry-Specific Benefits of Dual Parylene Options

Technical Differentiation: The Parylene Deposition Process
With raw GALXYL® dimer in both varieties, we maintain complete control over every aspect of this sophisticated process:
- Sublimation: The solid dimer is heated under vacuum to approximately 150°C, converting it directly to a vapor.
- Pyrolysis: The vapor passes through a high-temperature furnace (about 680°C) where it breaks down into reactive monomers.
- Deposition: These monomers enter the room-temperature deposition chamber containing client products, where they adsorb and polymerize on all exposed surfaces.
This process creates a completely conformal coating that penetrates even the smallest spaces (measured in microns) and coats uniformly regardless of product geometry. There are no surface tension or gravity effects to cause uneven application, droplets, or pooling resulting in consistent protection for the most critical components.
Expanding Possibilities with GALXYL® Parylene Coatings
Our exclusive distribution of GALXYL® enhances our ability to serve evolving client needs. As industries continue to push the boundaries of miniaturization, reliability requirements, and performance in harsh environments, the availability of multiple, precisely controlled Parylene variants enables new design possibilities.
For engineering and product development teams, the ability to specify exactly the right type of Parylene coating—backed by a secure supply chain and expert technical guidance—removes a significant constraint in the design process. This freedom to select the optimal protection without compromise helps accelerate innovation and enhance product performance in increasingly demanding applications.
Our team is excited to discuss how these expanded Parylene coating capabilities can address specific protection challenges and add value to your next project. Reach out today to get the conversation started!
