Cleaner Technologies
Innovative Technologies for Electronics Manufacturing
FAST Technology Product Group ATRON
This leads to significantly better surface wetting, which enables the cleaner to remove residues of lead-containing and lead-free NoClean solder pastes effectively and quickly. FAST® technology thus guarantees excellent cleaning performance, especially in spraying processes.
Due to the special formulation, FAST® surfactant cleaners require fewer active cleaning components to remove more residues compared to conventional surfactants.

MPC Technology Product Group VIGON
MPC® stands for "Micro Phase Cleaning". It describes a water-based cleaning technology developed by ZESTRON. Aspects of this technology are internationally protected by patents.
The special feature of MPC® technology is that it combines the advantages of traditional solvents and surfactant cleaners, but without accepting their disadvantages.
Cleaners for the electronics cleaning & power electronics sector as well as MRO cleaners are based on MPC technology.
VIGON PRODUCT GROUPAdvantages of MPC® Technology - Electronics Cleaning
The high broadband capability is a characteristic of all MPC® cleaning media. Due to the combination of polar and non-polar components, a wide variety of organic and inorganic contaminants can be cleaned off.
Further advantages of MPC® cleaners
Water-based: no flash point
- Very low VOC values: particularly environmentally compatible
- very good filterability: high economic efficiency
- surfactant-free: no surfactant residues on surfaces
- Good material compatibility
- Achieving very high surface tensions of over 50 mN/m
WATER-BASED, SINGLE-PHASE CLEANING TECHNOLOGY Product Group HYDRON
HYDRON® is an innovative cleaning technology developed by ZESTRON and stands for water-based, single-phase cleaning media. HYDRON® products are recommended for various cleaning applications, such as flux removal from assemblies, power electronics, packages and wafers or for stencil cleaning. The HYDRON® technology enables the complete removal of any contamination from the various surfaces.

MODERN SOLVENTS
Product Group ZESTRON
The solvent cleaners from Zestron are modern systems formulated on the basis of modified alcohols.
Compared to simple alcohols such as IPA or acetone, they have a significantly improved cleaning performance and a noticeably higher bath loading capacity, which makes them particularly economical. Furthermore, ZESTRON cleaners have a significantly higher flash point, which makes them particularly safe for machine use.
This makes the ZESTRON product group ideally suited for flux removal from electronic assemblies, ceramic substrates, power modules and leadframes. The cleaners can also be used for solder paste and SMT adhesive removal from stencils or screens.
Basically, all ZESTRON cleaners are free of halogenated compounds, which makes them particularly environmentally friendly compared to halogenated alcohols such as 141B or trichloroethylene.
ZESTRON solvents can be used in either completely water-free or semi-aqueous cleaning processes. They are formulated to be completely surfactant-free, which makes the media very easy to rinse.
