Q1: What is the CAS Registry Number for Parylene C Dimer Dichloro-[2,2]-Paracyclophane?
A: The CAS Number is 29847-57-4.
Q2: How much dimer is typically required to coat a standard 10 cm × 10 cm PCB with 10 µm Parylene C film?
A: Approximately 1.8–2.2 g of dimer is needed, assuming 65–75% conversion efficiency from dimer to deposited polymer under standard CVD conditions.
Q3: How does Parylene C Dimer compare to Parylene N Dimer in terms of barrier performance and processing temperature?
A: Parylene C Dimer yields a polymer with superior moisture barrier (10× lower WVTR) and higher dielectric strength than Parylene N; its sublimation onset occurs at ~130 °C, ~25 °C higher than Parylene N Dimer, requiring adjusted heater zone settings.
Q4: Is extractable chloride or residual solvent testing available for this material?
A: Yes — certified test reports include ICP-MS for chloride ion (≤5 ppm) and GC-MS for residual solvents (acetone, chlorobenzene, toluene all <10 ppm), per USP <661.1> and ISO 10993-12 protocols.
Q5: Does this dimer meet requirements for use in Class III medical device manufacturing under FDA 21 CFR Part 820?
A: Yes — supplied with full traceability, CoA (including assay, impurities, and residual metals), and documented change control; compliant with ISO 13485:2016 quality system requirements for medical device raw materials.
