Glovebox System
The Glovebox System is a specialised parylene coating unit featuring glove access ports, enabling users to handle sensitive substrates within a controlled environment while maintaining the integrity of the coating process. This design ensures that substrates are not exposed to contaminants, preserving the quality and consistency of the coating. Ideal for applications requiring stringent environmental controls, the system supports precise handling and processing of delicate materials.
Key Features:
- Integrated Glove Access for Controlled Handling Designed with glove ports, the Glovebox System allows operators to handle substrates within a sealed environment, ensuring contamination-free processing.
- Customizable Chamber Size The system offers flexibility with customizable chamber sizes to accommodate various substrate dimensions and processing requirements.
- Optional Plasma Integration The Glovebox System can be equipped with an integrated plasma source, providing surface activation capabilities for enhanced adhesion and coating quality.
- In-House Development and Manufacturing Plasma Parylene Systems GmbH develops and manufactures the Glovebox System entirely in-house, ensuring high-quality standards and tailored solutions to meet specific customer needs.
Applications:
- Coating Air-Sensitive / Reactive Materials Parts that must be handled in a low-oxygen / low-moisture environment (e.g., devices made from materials that oxidize or degrade in air) can be coated without exposure to ambient air. Useful for 2D materials, certain nanomaterials, or other highly sensitive substrates where even small contamination can degrade performance.
- Research & Development / Prototyping Ideal for R&D labs working on novel or sensitive devices: when you're developing a device in an inert environment (e.g., glovebox work), you can integrate the parylene coating directly. This reduces the risk of contamination when transferring parts between different environments (e.g., from glovebox to coating chamber).
- Microelectronics / Nano-Devices For micro- or nano-electronic devices (MEMS, nanowires, 2D materials) that are either synthesized or assembled in inert atmospheres: the glovebox system allows coating without exposure to air. Protecting very delicate devices (e.g., ones with freshly exposed surfaces) with parylene in a controlled environment.
- Battery / Energy Devices Components in advanced battery research (e.g., lithium-metal or other highly reactive materials) could benefit: you might do surface functionalisation or protective parylene layers in a glovebox to avoid degradation. Also relevant for energy devices where moisture control is critical.
- Medical / Biotech Sterile or very controlled-environment devices: for example, microfluidic or implantable parts that are cleaned / assembled in a glovebox, then immediately coated.
