Consumer electronics companies require components from Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) to not only perform faultlessly, but to be perfectly clean as well. Cleanliness standards and processes must be applied when outsourcing goods to ensure the products do not fail. This is particularly significant with the increasing miniaturization of Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs) and the complex…

The growing demand for smaller electronic assemblies is forcing manufacturers to squeeze even more micro components onto each PCBA (printed circuit board assembly). This transition to compact, denser boards is making cleaning more difficult and may lead to reliability issues.  If not properly cleaned, contaminated PCBAs can malfunction resulting in product recalls and expensive replacements…

The electronics manufacturing industry has seen incredible changes over the years. The evolution to smaller, high density circuit boards with low standoff or zero-clearance components is ongoing. With the pervasive deployment of BGAs and microBGAs, MCM devices and even denser semiconductor packages, today’s PCBs run hotter, and are more complex than ever before. In addition,…

A complete ban of nPB and TCE is underway in the United States.  Ensure you stay compliant with the changing regulations. Plan your transition to a newer alternative today. Opteon™ SF80 Specialty Fluid is a better, more sustainable option for your vapor degerasing cleaning operations.
