ZESTRON Promotes Greener Cleaning Chemistries and Technologies
January 6, 2010 |Estimated reading time: 1 minute
MANASSAS, VA — To conduct business in an environmentally and socially responsible manner, ZESTRON America, a provider of high-precision cleaning products and services, is expanding its focus on greener cleaning chemistries and technologies in 2010.
As the Stockholm Accord began to lay the foundation for legislative policies mandating countries to adopt greener technologies, the electronics manufacturing industry has been embracing environmentally conscious technologies for quite some time. ZESTRON developed pH-neutral aqueous cleaning agents such as VIGON N 501 in 2009. This product is fully biodegradable and free of any halogenated compounds and therefore meets the latest RoHS and WEEE guidelines as well as current worker safety standards and environmental requirements. As DI-water has a limited ability to thoroughly clean water soluble flux residues under low stand-off components, ZESTRON’s R&D department has developed new cleaning agents that will remove this type of contamination at very low concentrations.
ZESTRON’s green initiative is focused on providing process optimization techniques leading to energy and chemistry preservation, minimizing environmental impact. These include ZESTRON’s 10-Step Cost Reduction Guideline, the ZESTRON Bath Analyzer designed to closely monitor bath concentration, as well as the ZESTRON Demister and Condenser to maximize respective chemistry returns while reducing the amount of VOC emissions.
