Meet with KYZEN at the MCA How Clean Is Clean – Aerospace Expo
February 20, 2023 | KYZEN'Estimated reading time: 1 minute
KYZEN, the global leader in innovative environmentally friendly cleaning chemistries, will exhibit at the MCA How Clean Is Clean – Aerospace Exhibition, scheduled to take place Tuesday, March 7, 2023, at the Jackson Center in Huntsville, Alabama. The KYZEN team will discuss the benefits of its METALNOX M6920 VOC Free Solvent Cleaner, METALNOX M6386 Modified Alcohol Solvent Cleaner and METALNOX M6381 Precision Hydrocarbon Solvent Cleaner.
METALNOX M6920 is a highly effective VOC free cleaning solution intended for use in vapor degreasing equipment, cold cleaning and manual cleaning, and is a suitable replacement for AK225. It has proven compatible with a variety of metal parts, such as stainless steel, copper, iron, aluminum, and titanium. METALNOX M6920 also works well with alloys used in precision cleaning industries such as aerospace, automotive, medical, electronics and defense.
METALNOX M6386 is a modified alcohol-based solvent blend designed for use in automated vacuum degreasing parts cleaning machines. The cleaner is highly effective on paraffinic and water-based oils, cutting fluids and milling fluids commonly used to forge and cast metal hardware, fasteners and components.
METALNOX M6381 is a hydrocarbon solvent cleaner formulated for use on non-polar soils and is commonly used to clean parts supplied to the automotive, medical, aerospace, and other high-tech industries. M6381 is most effective in vacuum degreasing, immersion, and manual applications.
As several traditional degreasing solvents face drastic exposure limit restrictions, KYZEN has safe and effective alternatives. KYZEN'S cleaning experts can evaluate your current cleaning process and parameters to help you choose products that will be a good fit with your process, as well as satisfy your cleanliness standards. METALNOX M6920, M6381 and M6386 meet U.S. EPA requirements for your vacuum and vapor degreasing cleaning processes.

The Chemical Connection: Reducing Etch System Water Usage, Part 2
05/02/2024 | Don Ball -- Column: The Chemical ConnectionIn my last column, I reviewed some relatively simple ways to reduce water usage in existing etch systems: cutting down cooling coil water flow, adding chillers to replace plant water for cooling, lowering flow rate nozzles for rinses, etc. This month, I’ll continue with more ways to control water usage in your etcher. Most of these are not easily retrofittable to existing equipment but should be given serious consideration when new equipment is contemplated. With the right combination of add-ons, it is possible to bring the amount of water used in an etch system to almost zero.
Designer’s Notebook: What Designers Need to Know About Manufacturing, Part 2
04/24/2024 | Vern Solberg -- Column: Designer's NotebookThe printed circuit board (PCB) is the primary base element for providing the interconnect platform for mounting and electrically joining electronic components. When assessing PCB design complexity, first consider the component area and board area ratio. If the surface area for the component interface is restricted, it may justify adopting multilayer or multilayer sequential buildup (SBU) PCB fabrication to enable a more efficient sub-surface circuit interconnect.

Heavy Copper PCBs: Bridging the Gap Between Design and Fabrication, Part 1
04/01/2024 | Yash Sutariya, Saturn Electronics ServicesThey call me Sparky. This is due to my talent for getting shocked by a variety of voltages and because I cannot seem to keep my hands out of power control cabinets. While I do not have the time to throw the knife switch to the off position, that doesn’t stop me from sticking screwdrivers into the fuse boxes. In all honesty, I’m lucky to be alive. Fortunately, I also have a talent for building high-voltage heavy copper circuit boards. Since this is where I spend most of my time, I can guide you through some potential design for manufacturability (DFM) hazards you may encounter with heavy copper design.
