P. Kay Metal Expand Presence in El Salvador with New MS2 Molten Solder Surfactant Installations
January 12, 2026 | P. Kay Metal, Inc.Estimated reading time: 1 minute
MS2 Technologies, LLC/ P. Kay Metal, continues to strengthen its presence in Central America through the successful installation of MS2® Molten Solder Surfactant systems at electronics manufacturing facilities throughout El Salvador.
These installations, paired with MS2’s off-line dross-processing machines (DOFFS), are helping manufacturers achieve reductions of up to 60% in new solder purchases. By moving dross recovery off the production line, the DOFFS system enables a more measurable, controlled, and convenient recovery process—improving operational efficiency, increasing process visibility, and enhancing overall manufacturing control.
When combined with MS2®, P. Kay Metal’s patented molten solder surfactant, the DOFFS system allows manufacturers to significantly reduce material costs, minimize waste, and maintain consistent solder quality across production operations.
“Our projects in El Salvador go well beyond equipment installation,” said Octavio Raygoza, Regional Manager, Mexico. “By providing proper system setup, hands-on technical support, and comprehensive operator training, we help manufacturers quickly realize measurable savings and long-term value. This approach reinforces our commitment to delivering practical, cost-effective solutions that improve day-to-day manufacturing operations.”
