Indium Corporation Sustainability Award – Indium Corporation® received a Sustainability Award from ASE Technology Holding Co., Ltd. (ASE) at their recent 2025 Best Suppliers Award Ceremony in Taichung, Taiwan.
Through the use of Indium Corporation’s WS-575-C Ball-Attach Flux, ASE successfully lowered the cleaning water temperature in the standard BGA ball-attach process from the typical 50–60°C to room temperature, approximately 35°C. The change not only enhanced energy efficiency by reducing electricity consumption and carbon emissions but also maintained the same high standards of cleaning quality. This approach delivered estimated savings of:
- 157,680kWh/year lower electricity use
- 1,643.4 t CO₂ reduction in annual carbon emissions
- Approximately $440,000/year (U.S.) in economic benefit
“Manufacturers are facing increasing pressure to achieve greater reliability and performance without compromising their sustainability goals,” Sze Pei Lim, Senior Global Product Manager – Semiconductor and Advanced Materials, said. “We acknowledge our responsibility to support our customers by developing products that align with these objectives.
“With innovative solutions like WS-575-C, whose residue can be easily cleaned with room-temperature water, we help reduce energy consumption, enhance efficiency, and minimize environmental impact, all while delivering the reliable performance our customers rely on.”
Environmental responsibility is embedded in how Indium Corporation operates and innovates. The company continues to expand its portfolio of solutions that support global sustainability initiatives while delivering strong performance and reliability.
