NASHVILLE - Kyzen, the world leading provider of environmentally responsible precision cleaning products for electronics and high-technology manufacturing operations, announces that Dr. Mike Bixenman will chair the Cleaning & Alternatives Subcommittee at the upcoming IPC/APEX conference and exhibition, scheduled to take place April 6-8, 2010 at the Mandalay Bay Resort & Convention Center in Las Vegas. The meeting will be held during Session 5-31 of the Standards Development Meetings, which will take place Wednesday, April 7, 2010 from 1:30-5 p.m.

This subcommittee is combining and updating four cleaning handbooks into a single document. The base documents are IPC-SC-60 "Post Solder Solvent Cleaning Handbook," IPC-SA-61 "Post Solder Semi-Aqueous Cleaning Handbook," IPC-AC-62 "Aqueous Post Solder Cleaning Handbook," and IPC-CH-65 "Guidelines for Cleaning of Printed Boards and Assemblies."

The pace of technology development and innovation has created an expectation that products will perform upon demand. Technology advances create the need for highly complex circuitry driven by improved performance, miniaturization and circuit density.

Manufacturing complexity increases with the continuous drive for smaller, lighter and more advanced features. This presentation addresses the benefits and tradeoffs of innovative cleaning fluid designs for cleaning leading-edge technologies.
