ZESTRON to Feature Latest Cleaning Technologies at SMTA New England

Reading time ( words)

ZESTRON will be featuring its leading cleaning technologies HYDRON, MPC, and FAST at the SMTA New England Expo and Tech Forum.

HYDRON Technology incorporates water-based, single-phase, cleaning agents, covering a wide range of cleaning applications, such as defluxing of PCBAs, power electronics, advanced packages, and wafers.

MPC, Micro Phase Cleaning, is an innovative water-based cleaning technology that combines the advantages of both solvent and surfactant technologies. ZESTRON’s eco-friendly VIGON cleaning agents are based on MPC Technology and have been specifically formulated for SMT and power electronics as well as MRO and metal cleaning applications.

FAST, Fast Acting Surfactant Technology, is an innovative dynamic surfactant-based cleaning technology with a proprietary mix of newly developed surfactants allowing for quicker removal of a wide variety of the latest lead-free and leaded flux residues. It requires much shorter contact times, fewer active ingredients for the complete removal of contaminants and ensures a longer bath life resulting in reduced process and maintenance costs.

The SMTA New England Expo and Tech Forum will be held at the DCU Center in Worcester, MA on September 12.

JB Byers, vice president of technical support services at A-Tek Systems in Longmont, Colorado, recently gave a presentation on vapor phase reflow soldering at the SMTA Boise Expo & Tech Forum. After his presentation, I-Connect007 briefly talked with him about how the process can help reduce voids and lower operating cost.

At the recent SMTA Dallas Expo & Tech Forum, I spoke with Fernando Rueda, manager of the Americas for KYZEN, about the company’s newest technologies and trends he’s seeing in SMT cleaning processes. As Fernando points out, cleaning is now a requirement for most boards, and the cleaning process becomes more challenging as features get smaller and faster. No-clean technology can often make a challenging situation worse.

We were back in San Diego, maybe for a “long vacation,” as IPC APEX EXPO is in Anaheim next year. Before we get to Anaheim, though, let’s talk about the show: It was a great week. I spent Sunday and Monday visiting some excellent Professional Development courses. As you know, this is a fast-changing industry, and we have to keep learning to stay ahead. On Monday, I attended the Microvia Weak Interface/Reliability subcommittee, and on Tuesday, the Ultra-HDI Technology Committee.
