ZESTRON News April 2010 - The Latest "Green" Product and Process Technologies

Manassas, VA – April 28, 2010 – ZESTRON America’s special edition of ZESTRON News features the latest “green” precision cleaning product and process technologies for the electronics manufacturing industry.

During the past 20 years, the common thought in the industry has been that alkalinity is required to remove flux residues. The article “Go Greener in Your Cleaner – pH-Neutral Cleaning” shows that pH-neutral defluxing agents can provide excellent cleaning results comparable and sometimes even superior to alkaline products, while offering the many advantages of pH-neutrality.

In addition, “DI-Water vs. Chemistry: Cleaning under pH-Neutral Conditions” explains that chemistry seems to impart a number of “value-added” benefits, which, in the long run, exceed those of DI-water in terms of performance. It also shows that the initial investment in a chemistry-assisted process can provide increased flexibility, greener cleaning and substantial cost savings in the future.

The third article titled “Process Optimization through PCB Defluxing Trials” presents the results of a case study. In collaboration with a leading global security company that provides innovative systems, products, and solutions for military and commercial applications, ZESTRON investigated the possibility of improving the company’s current process performance while reducing overall costs.

Furthermore, this ZESTRON News edition features the latest vapor recovery devices, the ZESTRON® Demister and Condenser. Both have been specifically developed to reduce cleaning agent losses from automated operations in the electronics manufacturing industry leading to greener cleaning processes and cost savings.
