KYZEN, the global leader in innovative environmentally responsible cleaning chemistries, is proud to announce that its MICRONOX® MX2123 cleaning chemistry has won a 2026 Mexico Technology Award in the Cleaning Materials category. The award was presented during a ceremony held at SMTA Guadalajara 2026 on Wednesday, October 7, 2026, in Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico.
MICRONOX® MX2123 was developed to meet the demanding cleaning requirements of modern power electronics manufacturing, including IGBT modules and DBC substrates. The aqueous-based chemistry delivers powerful removal of high-temperature and no-clean flux residues while maintaining controlled alkalinity and built-in corrosion inhibition. This careful balance protects exposed copper, silver, and nickel metallization, which is critical for downstream processes such as wire bonding and ensuring long-term reliability.
Engineered for high-throughput production environments, MX2123 offers excellent rinsability, enabling rapid water break-free surfaces after rinsing and supporting faster, more consistent drying. The chemistry performs effectively at relatively low operating concentrations, simplifying bath control while reducing chemical consumption over time.
In addition to its technical performance, MX2123 is designed with operator safety in mind, avoiding unnecessary hazards while maintaining strong cleaning capability. It also complies with key industry standards and environmental regulations, including RoHS requirements, making it well-suited for manufacturers in automotive, industrial, and power electronics sectors.
“MX2123 was developed to solve some very real challenges our customers are facing in power electronics cleaning,” said Jayson Moy, Director – Global Product Lines at KYZEN. “It’s rewarding to see that work recognized, especially because it directly impacts reliability and performance on the production floor.”
