KOKOMO, IN, February 20, 2007 - Foresite is pleased to announce their recent partnership with Aqueous Technologies to be the exclusive, worldwide distributor of the C3. Aqueous Technologies, based in Rancho Cucamonga, CA, currently sells automatic defluxing, ultrasonic stencil cleaning and cleanliness testing equipment. They also sell defluxing and stencil cleaning chemicals and evaporators. Aqueous Technologies has been in existence for 15 years, winning 15 prestigious awards for their various products. Foresite hopes their commitment to exceed customers’ expectations, along with their dedication to well designed, high performance and relevant technology, will allow the C3 to reach and aid many manufacturers of high quality products.

The C3 is a localized cleanliness tester and extraction system which is expected to be a solid addition to Aqueous Technologies’ cleaning and testing equipment. The C3 is most effective as a process control tool to be used on the production floor or in a lab setting. The C3 was developed to meet an industry need to test critical areas of printed circuit assemblies; by examining the cleanliness of these assemblies manufacturers are able to spot and correct cleanliness problems that may lead to field failures. Through the use of the C3, Foresite has been able to optimize the understanding of cleanliness requirements, creating a new Foresite cleanliness specification with critical limits for bare boards, components, housings, and no clean and cleaned assemblies. The cleanliness specification includes correlation data to product reliability and field performance.
