1. Product Overview
ZESTRON® FA+ is a solvent-based cleaning agent designed for defluxing in semi-aqueous processes. It effectively removes all types of flux residues from electronic assemblies, ceramic hybrids, power electronics—including power modules, leadframe-based discretes, and power LEDs—and packages such as Flip Chips/CMOS. The product offers high cleaning performance, superior bath loading capacity, and long bath life. Its surfactant-free formulation allows easy rinsing, while ensuring void-free underfills and enhanced image resolution. It is biodegradable, halogen-free, and environmentally compliant.

2. Applications

  • Defluxing of PCBAs, ceramic hybrids, power electronics, and packages.

  • Cleaning Flip Chips and CMOS assemblies to ensure void-free underfills.

  • Improves wire bonding and molding quality for power modules, leadframe-based discretes, and power LEDs.

  • Compatible with dip tank (ultrasonic and spray-under-immersion) and centrifugal cleaning systems.

  • Suitable for lead-free solder paste removal.
