NASHVILLE – KYZEN, the global leader in innovative environmentally friendly cleaning chemistries, will exhibit at the SMTA Querétaro Expo & Tech Forum, scheduled to take place Thursday, July 13, 2023, in Juriquilla-Querétaro in the EXPO HALL of Hotel Misión Juriquilla. The KYZEN clean team will showcase products for cleaning PCBs in AQUANOX A4626 paired with the KYZEN Process Control System (PCS) and understencil wipe KYZEN E5631J.

Though utilized in different phases of PCB assembly, both solutions are formulated with cleaning efficiency and effectiveness as priorities and ease of use in mind.

AQUANOX A4626 is a concentrated aqueous cleaning agent with a wide material compatibility window on boards, components, labels and metallic surfaces. This next generation chemistry is designed to provide superior results in cleaning traditional lead-free and eutectic tin-lead residues in addition to the latest polymetric no-clean fluxes.

The KYZEN Process Control System (PCS) is designed to automatically track your wash bath concentration by adding just the right amount of chemistry when needed. For more than 20 years, KYZEN has continuously improved and advanced the capabilities of KYZEN PCS, so it continues to excel in alleviating stress on users by controlling, monitoring and automatically reacting to dynamic changes in wash bath concentrations.

KYZEN E5631J is a ready-to-use solution for removing raw solder paste from stencils formulated with great consideration for workers and the environment. This cost-effective solution quickly and effectively cleans all types of raw solder pastes in both online and offline cleaning processes.

KYZEN products and cleaning experts remain focused on providing quality chemistries like AQUANOX A4626 and KYZEN E5631J, along with control systems like the KYZEN PCS to assist the cleaning needs of PCB producers at every stage of their production process.
