Removal of Parylene by Plasma Etching

I am looking for information regarding the removal of parylene through a plasma etching process. Any information about this subject, or the plasma etching process in general would be greatly appreciated. Vendor comments are also welcome. Thank you, Chris Fontaine

At my previous job I tried to remove parylene using a plasma etching process. I don't remember the parameters used, but I do remember this: we had almost no success in removing parylene using plasma etching. I'd be quite interested in hearing if you have any success, or find some other method to remove parylene.

Brett and Chis, The method I understand to be the most popular is the use of micro-blasting or abrasion. In other words mechanical rather than chemical removal. However, that is only part of the problem - how do you repair the coating? The technique that seems common is to mechanically remove the coating, replace the component or whatever, and the re-coat using a 2 part epoxy coating as the nearest equivalent. If you would like more help, let me know Graham Naisbitt Concoat Ltd Alasan House, Albany Park Camberley GU15 2PL England
