<p class="MsoNormal">Dear Labnetwork,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Does anyone purchase SPR 955 (or any other Shipley/Dupont products) from a distributor other than Kayaku? We have had numerous issues with different materials. In this case, we need to either find a different distributor or begin qualifying
another resist, probably both. The current issue is that we purchased a gallon of SPR955 which was “in stock.” It arrived last week with an expiration date of 7/8/23. Kayaku’s response was that they were required to ship what they had on hand first and
would ask for an extension to the expiration date from the manufacturer. I am still hoping for a better response and solution than that but need to find an alternative in the meantime.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">If anyone works with a different distributor for Shipley resists, I’d love to hear your experience. I’ll share the final solution from Kayaku and summarize any responses for alternatives.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
