Case Study: an electronics production facility in the United States saves $60,000 annually with Kurita America’s Cetamine®

electronics production facility in the united states saves $60,000 annually with Kurita America’s Cetamine

An electronics production facility in the United States faced high aluminum corrosion and treatment costs in its process cooling water systems. The previous treatment program resulted in high conductivity and pH that no longer met strict operational specifications, leading to equipment failures such as brass component cracking. The facility turned to Kurita America for a solution.

Kurita America implemented its patented Cetamine film-forming substance treatment program after a system flush and evaluation. This solution eliminated the need for close pH monitoring and dramatically reduced conductivity. The results included excellent corrosion protection and a reduction in operational conductivity to 12 µS. The facility achieved annual savings of $60,000, leading to a full-scale implementation and consideration for rollout at six other sites within the manufacturer's network.
