Features Of Parylene F Dimer Octafluoro-[2,2]-Paracyclophane

  1. High thermal stability with decomposition onset above 400 °C, enabling robust high-temperature vapor deposition processes.

  2. Exceptional chemical resistance to strong acids, bases, solvents, and oxidizing agents due to fully fluorinated aromatic backbone.

  3. Low dielectric constant (~2.35 at 1 MHz) and ultra-low dissipation factor, ideal for high-frequency electronic insulation.

  4. Superior UV stability and weather resistance compared to non-fluorinated parylenes (e.g., Parylene N or C).

  5. Provides pinhole-free, conformal, and stress-free polymeric coatings after pyrolytic dimer-to-monomer conversion and polymerization.

Typical Applications Of Parylene F Dimer Octafluoro-[2,2]-Paracyclophane

  1. Protective coating for aerospace sensors and avionics exposed to extreme temperature cycling and aggressive chemical environments.

  2. Dielectric encapsulation of implantable medical devices requiring long-term biostability and fluoropolymer inertness.

  3. Moisture and corrosion barrier for high-reliability MEMS, RF filters, and millimeter-wave components.

  4. Surface passivation layer for semiconductor test probes and precision microelectrodes in harsh analytical environments.

  5. Functional coating for lithium-ion battery current collectors to suppress electrolyte side reactions and transition metal dissolution.

Parylene F Dimer Octafluoro-[2,2]-Paracyclophane – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the CAS Registry Number for Parylene F Dimer Octafluoro-[2,2]-Paracyclophane?

A: The CAS Number is 35142-79-9.


Q2: How does recommended usage amount compare to Parylene C dimer in standard coating processes?

A: Due to higher molecular weight and lower vapor pressure, typical mass loading is ~10–15% greater than Parylene C dimer for equivalent coating thickness; deposition rate is ~20–25% slower under identical reactor settings.


Q3: Is Parylene F Dimer compliant with ISO 10993 and USP Class VI for biomedical use?

A: The *polymer* (Parylene AF-4) derived from this dimer meets ISO 10993-5/-10 biocompatibility requirements and USP <788> extractables limits when processed under validated GMP conditions; however, the dimer itself is not tested or certified — only the final cured coating is evaluated.


Q4: Are there known migration or leachable concerns during sterilization (e.g., EtO, gamma)?

A: No significant monomer or oligomer migration occurs post-polymerization; Parylene AF-4 exhibits negligible extractables (<0.1 μg/cm²) under ISO 10993-12 extraction protocols, even after gamma irradiation up to 50 kGy.
