NASHVILLE – KYZEN, the global leader in innovative environmentally friendly cleaning chemistries, is pleased to announce its participation in the upcoming 2024 SMT Guadalajara Expo, scheduled to be held September 11-12, 2024 at the Expo Guadalajara Salón Jalisco in Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico. KYZEN will exhibit at Booth 402 and spotlight the powerful combination of Chemistry and Control, focusing on AQUANOX A4727, KYZEN E5631J, and the new KYZEN ANALYST2.
AQUANOX A4727 excels at cleaning printed circuit boards and advanced package assemblies when used in low concentrations. The award-winning A4727 has been proven effective in spray-in-air processes for cleaning all solder flux residues, including difficult Pb-free and no- clean formulations. The chemical compatibility of AQUANOX A4727 includes a variety of components, coatings, labels and equipment while the solution boasts a long bath life and superior rinsability.
The ready-to-use understencil wipe KYZEN E5631J is a safe and effective alternative to isopropyl alcohol (IPA) for the removal of raw solder paste from stencils in both online and offline cleaning processes. E5631J is compatible with common stencils, cleaning equipment, and printer manufacturers while remaining cost-effective by quickly and efficiently cleaning all types of raw solder pastes.
The KYZEN ANALYST2 is an advanced system that incorporates customer feedback for enhanced performance and utilizes sonic velocity technology for real-time concentration measurement. Unlike other sonic velocity instruments, the ANALYST2 provides more precise measurements by directly measuring concentration, offering fast and stable readings independent of the liquid's conductivity, color, or transparency. With a 0.1% resolution, the ANALYST2 is compatible with over 60 cleaning solutions, extending its utility beyond KYZEN chemistries.
Visit KYZEN at Booth 402 to experience how KYZEN chemistries combine with concentration monitoring for cost-effective cleaning without sacrificing board and stencil printing quality.
