Hello,

We have been able to gather a tremendous amount of data over the past few
years in regards to performance of our organo-metallic tin finish. We have
found (in conjunction with a large telecommunicatons OEM) that the Dexcoat FST
(flat solderable tin) will indeed outperform HASL on fine pitch product at
assembly. The Dexcoat product has approximately 2x the shelf life of the
Omnikron product. I would be happy to discuss this in more detail off line at
1-800-877-9871 ext.209.

Regards,
Chris McGary
