CLINTON, NY – As one of the leading materials providers to the electronics assembly industry, Indium Corporation® is proud to feature its industry-leading Durafuse® solder technology at the Battery Show North America, October 7-10, in Detroit, Michigan.

Indium Corporation will showcase the following among its featured products:

• Durafuse® LT is an award-winning solder paste alloy system with versatile characteristics that enable energy savings, high reliability, and low-temperature step soldering. It's ideal for assemblies with large temperature gradients and large BGAs with complex warpage profiles. Durafuse® LT delivers superior drop shock performance, outperforming conventional low-temperature solders like BiSn or BiSnAg alloys, and even outperforms SAC305 with optimal process setup.
• Durafuse® HR, based on novel solder paste alloy technology, delivers enhanced thermal cycling performance (-40°C/125°C and -40°C/150°C) and superior voiding performance for high-reliability automotive applications. It also offers reduced solder joint cracking and increased shear strength. Indalloy®301 LT Alloy for Preforms/InFORMS® is a novel Pb-free alloy that enables lower processing temperatures in preform soldering compared to SAC alloys.

Indium Corporation’s innovative solder and alloy technologies are designed to meet the stringent requirements of the electric vehicle market, where thermal management, reliability, and energy efficiency are paramount. The ability to enhance thermal cycling performance and reduce energy consumption aligns with the industry's drive towards sustainability and longer-lasting products.

NASHVILLE – KYZEN, the global leader in innovative environmentally responsible cleaning chemistries, will exhibit at FABTECH 2024, scheduled to take place October 15-17, 2024 at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, FL. The KYZEN Clean Team will exhibit at Booth W2810, offering cleaning insights and solutions for a wide range of industrial metal cleaning challenges.

KYZEN offers a full line of products to meet the challenges faced today by metal industry manufacturers. KYZEN provides chemistries to address cleaning challenges ranging from cleaning and protecting parts from corrosion with a single chemistry, improving a remanufacturing process or vacuum degreasing process, or replacing solvents that may soon be hard to get or completely banned.

Award-winning KYZEN chemistries are designed to effectively remove a variety of oils, coolants, smut, oxides and more from many substrates in precision metal cleaning applications. For example, KYZEN offers products that clean and brighten brass, clean and protect aluminum, remove carbon smut from deep drawn steel or provide general metal degreasing. KYZEN’s Clean Team even assists in making cleaning processes “future-proof” from bans and restrictions with solvent replacements, in light of recent EPA restrictions and the current phasedown in production of materials containing PFAS and HFCs.

Whether the cleaning process and challenge calls for aqueous cleaning agents, vacuum degreasing solvent cleaners, or solvent replacements, KYZEN’s cleaning experts will work to find the chemistry that fits your cleaning need and process.

Regardless of process, challenge, or the cleaning objective, KYZEN is prepared to offer chemistries and provide solutions. Make plans to stop by Booth W2810 at FABTECH and speak with the company’s cleaning experts!
