Kyzen's Forsythe to Present at Upcoming Cleaning Tech Forum and Expo in Beijing
November 6, 2003 |Estimated reading time: 1 minute
Nashville — Kyzen Corp.'s Tom Forsythe will present a paper on cleaning agents at the 2003 International Cleaning-Tech Forum and Expo scheduled to take place November 20 to 22 at the Beijing International Conventional Center in Beijing, China.
The presentation, titled "Next Generation ODS-free Cleaning Agents, Designed for the Environment, discusses how the electronics manufacturing industry is responding to the global shift to more environmentally conscious materials and practices. The elimination of ozone-depleting substances (ODS) and the move to lead-free manufacturing are the biggest examples. The next-generation designed for environment (DFE) cleaning agents will face significant challenges. Lead-free soldering will generate more oxides and therefore require more volume and more active fluxes to provide good wetting. This change in fluxes coupled with the elevated reflow temperatures makes for a new, more difficult cleaning challenge.
Today's environmentally conscious suppliers and manufacturers must meet these challenges without traditional solvents or materials that will harm the environment. This paper will discuss the new rules for cleaning agent design and present a unique solution or "next-generation DFE cleaning agents."
This technology is designed for use in aqueous batch or in-line spray machines. The cleaning agents will remove rosin-based flux, low residue no-clean flux, water soluble flux, uncured chipbonder adhesive, uncured solder paste, as well as assembly residues from surface mounted assemblies and advanced packages.
Organized by the China Cleaning Engineering Technical Cooperation Association, the 2003 International Cleaning-Tech Forum and Expo is sponsored by China Cleaning Engineering Technical Cooperation Association, the United Nations Development Program, and the Foreign Economic & Cooperation Office of the State Environmental Protection Administration. Supporters of the forum and expo include the State Environmental Protection Administration of China and the Ministry of Information Industry of China.
