We are currently using a Kester OSP coating that is similar to the Entek
106.Our application is not the same as yours however we had concerns re-
garding long term instument reliability.Of particular interest was ground-
ing and signal alteration effects during environmental exposure.
Part of our test program was to run Mixed Flowing Gas (MFG)testing.This has
the ability to simulate X number of years of field exposure to a given
number of hours of chamber time.This testing was run in conjunction with
IBM Endicott Technology Assurance Div.
Gas types,concentrations and exposue times can be used to simulate various
life spans and environments.
BTW,our test results showed no diference between HAL and OSP for our
application.
