Manassas, Va. – ZESTRON America is pleased to introduce its newly developed solvent-based defluxing agent for water-free and low temperature cleaning applications.

ZESTRON DS 100 is a solvent-based cleaning agent specially designed to remove flux residues at low temperatures from electronic assemblies, ceramic hybrids, power modules and leadframes in self regenerative closed-loop cleaning systems. ZESTRON DS 100 is particularly suitable for applications, especially when rinsing with water is not permitted. Developed in conjunction with a leading equipment manufacturer for closed-loop processes, ZESTRON DS 100 ensures an extended bath life, low maintenance costs and provides the lowest cost per cleaned part in the industry.

The cleaning agent was successfully tested with a wide range of flux residues and provides residue-free drying. Leading military and medical electronic manufacturers have qualified ZESTRON DS 100 for its cleaning performance under capillary spaces such as BGA’s and flipchips. Due to very good drying characteristics, the cleaning agent also provides short cycle times.

ZESTRON DS 100 is formulated free of any halogenated compounds and is environmentally friendly. Additionally, this product meets the new RoHS and WEEE guidelines as well as current worker safety standards and actual applicable environmental requirements.
