KYZEN announces that it was awarded a 2018 Global Technology Award in the category of Cleaning Materials for its AQUANOX A4625 Aqueous Cleaning Solution. The award was presented to the company during a Tuesday, October 16, 2018 ceremony that took place during SMTA International.
AQUANOX A4625 is a versatile aqueous cleaning chemistry designed to clean the latest flux residues while providing brilliant mirrored solder finishes. It cleans a wide variety of solder types including the most difficult to remove soils. Easy to use, A4625 is environmentally friendly, has a long tank life and is safe for multi-pass applications. Tried and true – A4625 is one of, if not THE most popular PCB cleaning product in use globally today.
“It is fitting that the Global Technology Awards recognize AQUANOX A4625 due to its great success across the globe,” commented Tom Forsythe, KYZEN Executive Vice President. “Customers in scores of countries are benefiting from the advanced cleaning technology that A4625 brings to their operations every day. These customers depend on A4625 to ensure that their final product will meet reliability standards and specs for their customers.
A4625 has a proprietary inhibition package that protects sensitive metals/materials while removing the toughest soils. This inhibition package also allows for multi-pass processes. AQUANOX A4625 was specifically designed to address hard to clean residues, especially in difficult circumstances regarding high reliability applications, resulting in less rework and higher yields.
Premiering in 2005, the Global Technology Awards program is an annual celebration of product excellence in electronics surface mount assembly. Premier products based on the finest examples of creative advancement in technology are chosen by a distinguished panel of industry experts.
KYZEN is a worldwide leading supplier of precision cleaning chemistries to the electronics, metal finishing, medical, semiconductor, and optical industries. The company connects leading science with care to create the most effective cleaning solutions for each customer’s unique manufacturing process or problem.

Overview of Soldering Systems With Vacuum
12/18/2024 | Dr. Paul Wild, Rehm Thermal Systems GmbHWhen soldering electronic assemblies, the focus of the vacuum application is on the removal of volatile substances from the solder joints and the associated reduction of pore formation. Particularly in the thermal management of power electronics components, pores can cause so-called hotspots with higher temperatures due to their poor heat conduction. These hotspots can lead to overheating of the components on the one hand and to thermally induced destruction of the solder structure on the other.
