KYZEN Receives Two Mexico Technology Awards
November 15, 2018 | KyzenEstimated reading time: 2 minutes
KYZEN was awarded two 2018 Mexico Technology Awards in the categories of cleaning materials for its AQUANOX A4625 Aqueous in-line cleaning solution and test and measurement inspection systems for the KYZEN ANALYST real-time concentration monitoring & reporting system. The Mexico Technology Awards recognize the best new innovations in the electronics manufacturing industry in Mexico. The awards were presented to the company during a Wednesday, Nov. 14, 2018 ceremony that took place during the SMTA Guadalajara Expo & Tech Forum.
AQUANOX A4625 is a versatile aqueous cleaning chemistry designed to tackle 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. That’s why A4625 is one of, if not THE most popular PCB cleaning product in use globally today.
AQUANOX A4625 features 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. The outcome results in less rework and higher yields
KYZEN ANALYST is the first of its kind, state-of-the-art, wash bath concentration monitoring and reporting system that maximizes performance of virtually all chemistries, not just a few. The KYZEN ANALYST uses direct measurement technology, a high-precision technique that includes fast and stable analytical methods that are independent of conductivity, color and transparency of the process liquids. These results are available remotely from anywhere in the world, online and are updated every second.
The KYZEN ANALYST makes concentration monitoring faster, safer and more precise while saving critical time and money. It works with virtually all cleaning chemistries and easily integrates with new OEM equipment or existing machines.
Fernando Rueda, Americas Manager at KYZEN, stated: “At KYZEN, our cleaning experts care enough to work tirelessly to solve your most difficult cleaning problems. That’s why we are uniquely honored that multiple KYZEN products have been recognized by the Mexico Technology Awards for their innovation in achieving the highest standards and driving the industry forward.”

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.
I-Connect007 Editor’s Choice: Five Must-Reads for the Week
12/13/2024 | Andy Shaughnessy, I-Connect007This week, Peter Tranitz discusses the upcoming Pan-European Electronics Design Conference, set for Jan. 29-30 in Vienna, Austria. Pete Starkey brings us a review of the most recent EIPC Technical Snapshot webinar, which featured a global PCB maker update by Dr. Hayao Nakahara. Don't miss our interview with Manfred Huschka, who explains how companies can begin their own China Plus One plan. Stan Farnsworth breaks down photonic soldering and discusses its use in soldering materials that are not typically compatible. I also enjoyed Dan Beaulieu’s discussion on the value of consistency, and why just showing up for work is half the battle, especially in an inconsistent, evolving industry like ours.
