Kyzen’s Phil Zhang Receives Best Presentation Award from SMTA China

NASHVILLE — Kyzen, a world leading provider of environmentally responsible precision cleaning products for electronics and high-technology manufacturing operations, announces that Phil Zhang has been awarded Best Presentation of Vendor Conference One (CE10) at the SMTA China East 2010 Award Presentation Ceremony for the presentation titled "Flux Residue and Its Impact on Reliability." The award was presented to Phil during an April 21, 2010 ceremony, which took place at the Shanghai Everbright Convention & Exhibition Center during NEPCON China 2010.

The drive for smaller, more functional electronic assemblies, along with the need for high reliability electronics requires clean circuit boards to function properly. Highly dense circuit designs are increasingly populated with small passive chip cap components.

Published research documents the importance of cleaning when populating the circuit board with low clearance components and highly active lead-free solder fluxes. The purpose of this presentation was to help engineers identify the sources of residue and impact on reliability. Reliability problems such as conformal coating adhesion, low production yields, and electrical performance were presented.

Kyzen is a leading supplier of precision cleaning chemistries to the worldwide electronics, metal finishing, medical, semiconductor, and optical industries.
