We found mixed results using Glicoat, a competing material made in 
     Japan.
     
     We have mixed results on yield, with no change to 100% fallout 
     depending upon PCB design, number of thermal cycles and nitrogen 
     level, if any on both reflow, wave or both.
     
     We also found cost savings at some PCB suppliers with organic coats, 
     and cost increases from others.

     Hello Larry,
     
     I've taken the liberty of giving your name to Scot Burns of 
     Enthone.OMI. He has agreed to call you. He has also suggested that I 
     give you his number, as well.
     His number is: 1.619.743.4061.

Hello:
     
I am a PCB designer that also get PCB's fabricated.  We have been approached 
by one of our vendors about calling out Entek coating instead of HASL.  Our 
customers range from soldering the parts on at their bench to sending them 
out to be stuffed.  My question is:  What are the pros and cons when 
assembling thru-hole and SMT parts with this Entek coating on the board?
     
Thanks in advance.
