Our History
Our History
Specialty Coating Systems’ roots date back to the 1970’s when Parylene conformal coatings were first commercialized due to William F. Gorham’s work at Union Carbide Corporation (UCC). We are proud of our heritage, which has afforded us over 40 years of coating and applications expertise.
1971 – Nova Tran Corporation was established in Clear Lake, WI. Nova Tran purchased a license agreement from UCC to be one of the world’s first Parylene service providers.
1984 – Union Carbide Corporation purchased Nova Tran. In 1991, Nova Tran, along with Integrated Technologies, Inc., PHOTOCURE Systems, and UCC Coatings Materials, were combined as a new company called Specialty Coating Systems (黄色榴莲视频). Union Carbide transferred all of the original information and patents regarding the development of Parylene to 黄色榴莲视频.
