KYZEN Establishes New Standard with VOC-free Solvent
September 8, 2016 | KyzenEstimated reading time: 2 minutes
KYZEN introduces a new line of solvent blends designed for high reliability in a wide spectrum of industrial cleaning applications. With critical focus on meeting increasing regulations and high quality output, KYZEN’s new solvents have affectionately been dubbed “green and clean,” by many in the industry.
From “vapor only” to immersion, ultrasonics and turbulation, these innovative formulations meet or exceed almost any process requirements in place today. KYZEN’s in-house application labs in the United States and around the world help process engineers by verifying “live manufacturing” results for specific parts, materials, soils and process prior to any product commitment. This also ensures that manufacturers can meet their quality standards with required environmental compliance, worker safety and superior technical support.
KYZEN solvents consistently deliver desirable cleaning performance on a wide range of soils including oils, greases, waxes and other fluids. The combined features of low surface tension, non-flammability, and superior solvency maximize cleaning strength to get the job done. Designed to replace AK225, nPB, TCE and other undesirable solvents, KYZEN’s breakthrough clean and green chemistries include:
- Metalnox M6920 – Classified as a non-VOC chemistry, M6920 is non-flammable and has ultra-low MRI and global warming potential of 1. The chemistry is compatible with stainless steel, copper, iron and aluminum with or without excess water, and has excellent degreasing qualities for most lubes/oils. With PEL limits of 800 ppm, M6920 is a great choice for metals, plastics and elastomers as an effective and safe solvent.
- Metalnox M6922 – A VOC compliant, M6922 effectively solubilizes ionic contaminants in hydrocarbon-based oils, water soluble soils and electronic fluxes. M6922 also has excellent degreasing qualities for most lubes and oils and a superior solvency for silicone fluids. With ultra-low Global Warming Potential of 1 and low surface tension rating of 12.7 dyne/cm (wettability), M6922 is a great choice to replace harsh chemistries while providing a safe and effective solvency.
- Metalnox M6900 – Is a non-flammable chemistry used in immersion processes or “vapor” only process. M6900 has a low Global Warming Potential and PEL limits of 220 ppm. This chemistry helps conserve energy due to low operating temperature. It is effective in most metals and has excellent degreasing capabilities.
“KYZEN has pioneered high-reliability aqueous and solvent cleaning fluids for 26 years. We like giving manufacturers high-performance outcomes, while being safer for people and our environment. We know the industry has been looking for this kind of innovation in solvents and processes for a long time. As part of our VaporDegreasing 20|20 family of solutions, I’m particularly proud that we’ve set such a high bar and the new standard for this process,” said Tom Forsythe, Vice President KYZEN.
KYZEN is a recognized global pioneer in the development, manufacturing and distribution of high-precision cleaning solutions. KYZEN is renowned for its aqueous cleaners, and for its solvent cleaners, corrosion inhibitors and other specialized products for metal finishing and parts cleaning. KYZEN’s VaporDegreasing 20|20 TM processes and chemistry solutions are the results that are equal to or better than older standards, such as AK225 and nPB, but without the environmental tradeoffs — KYZEN is bringing “green and clean” to vapor degreasing operations.

Global PCB Connections: Following DFM Rules Leads to Better Boards
12/18/2024 | Jerome Larez -- Column: Global PCB ConnectionsAs a PCB field applications engineer, ensuring smooth communication between PCB designers and fabricators is one of my frequent challenges. A critical part of that dialogue is design for manufacturing (DFM). Many designers, even experienced ones, often misunderstand or overlook important DFM considerations. They may confuse design rules with manufacturing minimums, leading to technically feasible designs that are difficult or costly to produce. In this column, I will clarify some common DFM guidelines and help designers understand the difference between “design rules” and “minimums” while sharing best practices that will simplify the production process and ensure the highest quality PCB.
Sayonara to the Last Standing Copper Foil Plant in North America
12/17/2024 | Marcy LaRont, I-Connect007In July 2021, PCB007 Magazine published an interview with Michael Coll and Chris Stevens of Nippon Denkai about the new acquisition by Nippon Denkai of the last-standing ED foil manufacturer in North America. The plant in Augusta, Georgia, was formerly owned by Oak Mitsui, Inc. and had been purchased by Nippon Denkai the previous March, after which significant investment was made with the expectation of providing more jobs.

OKI Develops PCB Technology with Stepped Copper Coin Insertion to Achieve 55 Times Better Heat Dissipation in Outer Space
12/12/2024 | BUSINESS WIREThe OKI Group printed circuit board (PCB) business company OKI Circuit Technology has successfully developed multilayer PCB technology with stepped copper coin insertion to achieve 55 times better heat dissipation compared to conventional PCB. The stepped copper coin is offered in two types, circular and rectangular, to suit the shape of the electronic component mounted on the PCB. OTC is working to develop mass-production technologies with the aim of introducing PCBs incorporating this new technology into markets for compact devices or devices used in outer space or other environments where air cooling technology cannot be used.
Fresh PCB Concepts: PCB Plating Process Overview
12/12/2024 | Team NCAB -- Column: Fresh PCB ConceptsIn this installment of Fresh PCB Concepts, Mike Marshall takes the helm stating: PCBs have been the platform for the interconnection of electronic components for decades. Because of process costs and other constraints, such as mechanical properties or size limitations of the alternatives, PCBs will remain the standard low-cost interconnection technology. Rapidly increasing performance and functionality requirements of wireless and high-speed devices have challenged the development and implementation of new manufacturing solutions.
