RANCHO CUCAMONGA, CA, November 22, 2006 -
Aqueous Technologies Corporation announces that it will premier
the C3, a cleanliness tester, in booth 1109 at the upcoming APEX
2007 trade show and exhibition, scheduled to take place February
20 to 22, 2007, in Los Angeles.
The C3 — Critical Cleanliness Control — ionic cleanliness tester
was developed by Foresite, a leading analytical test laboratory
specializing in residue characterization for the electronics
industry. Aqueous Technologies, a leading manufacturer of
automated defluxing systems and cleanliness testing equipment
for the electronics industry has been appointed as the exclusive
worldwide distributor of C3.
C3 is unique from other contamination testers on the market. It
is the first tester to examine contamination in a localized area
of a PCB assembly. By looking at a localized area of 0.1 in2,
the C3 ionic cleanliness tester provides immediate feedback as
to whether or not the area is ionically “clean” or “dirty.” The
localized testing format of the C3 allows users to look at
specific components or areas of circuitry that are particularly
sensitive and prone to performance issues.
By using the C3, the presence of corrosive residues can be
detected quickly and effectively. The system is designed for
efficiency and provides the immediate process monitoring data
that an off-site testing facility cannot. With a user-friendly
touch-screen, the C3 pinpoints the problem areas that need
further analysis. When further analysis is needed, users can
send off the sample collected by the C3 for further testing to
determine exactly what contaminants are present.
C3 is the only cleanliness testing method capable of pinpointing
the location of a contaminant, determine the corrosivity of
residues, and utilize the extraction sample to determine what
contaminates are present. The stored sample may be sent to the
Foresite laboratory for further analysis, via ion
chromatography, and recommendations when problems occur.
