<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Hi John,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">I’m curious if the issue is with the bottle itself. We ordered XeF2 last summer, but after 8 weeks or so, we had not received the bottle. We were told by our vendor that there was delay on Pelchem’s side and
that ship date was to be determined. We didn’t receive much feedback beyond that. After waiting another couple weeks, we asked more questions, and found that the issue was the bottle type used on the Xactix tool. Our tool, and I assume most, use the bottle
with a right angle valve. We were told Pelchem was having trouble sourcing those valves and it was not known when a new bottle could be delivered. After more questions, we found out our vendor was able to provide a bottle with a straight valve in a short
time frame. As a result, we ordered the alternative bottle and had a new pigtail fabricated to accommodate the change in orientation.
