“Dry Fog” is formed out of ultrafine water droplets, each measuring 10 μm or less in diameter, generated by specialized spray nozzles. This fog rapidly evaporates into the air without wetting the objects it touches.
In the realm of surface-mount technology (SMT) processes, effective humidity control is crucial to combat electrostatic discharge (ESD) issues and challenges arising from static electricity and dry air. IKEUCHI's Dry Fog Humidification System emerges as a groundbreaking solution, delivering seven key benefits.
1. ESD Damage Prevention
As electronic components shrink, susceptibility to electrostatic discharge increases. The Dry Fog system ensures a uniform humidity level, preventing the risk of ESD damage.
2. Reduced Pick-and-Place Errors
Maintaining optimal humidity levels minimizes errors in the pick-and-place process caused by components sticking to or popping out from the tape due to static charge, boosting productivity.
3. Consistent Solder Print Quality
Humidity control during solder printing prevents issues like rapid drying or excessive moisture absorption, ensuring consistent solder print quality and product reliability.
4. Airborne Particle Reduction
Humidification curbs airborne particles, reducing defects caused by particle adherence. The Dry Fog system significantly decreases airborne particles with increased humidity.
5. Significant Operating Cost Reduction
Compared to conventional steam humidification, the Dry Fog system slashes operating costs by 68%, resulting in $50,000/year savings and a 70% CO2 emissions reduction.
6. Cooling Cost Reduction
Evaporative cooling of the Dry Fog lowers ambient temperatures, yielding an $18,000/year saving in cooling expenses at an SMT facility.
7. Healthier Work Environment
Beyond manufacturing, the Dry Fog system reduces sick leave by maintaining a relative humidity of 50% or above, leading to fewer sick days during winter.
In conclusion, IKEUCHI's Dry Fog Humidification System is a comprehensive solution addressing crucial aspects of SMT processes, enhancing productivity, reducing costs, and fostering a healthier workplace. This technology offers a transformative approach to humidity control in electronics manufacturing.

Americhem Expands Aircraft Interior Portfolio with PFAS-Free Thermoplastic Platform Meeting 55/55 OSU, Low Smoke, and Low Toxicity Requirements4.3.2026 13:00:00 CET | Press release
Americhem is expanding its aircraft interior materials portfolio with ColorFast® SFT5500, a PFAS-free high-performance thermoplastic engineered to meet FAA 14 CFR 25.853, Appendix F, Part IV, 55/55 OSU heat release requirements while delivering low smoke and low toxicity characteristics for aircraft interior applications. PFAS-free thermoplastic systems capable of achieving 55/55 OSU performance while maintaining low smoke and low toxicity characteristics remain limited in the aerospace market. ColorFast® SFT5500 addresses this need with demonstrated 55/55 OSU heat release performance, low smoke emission characteristics, and low flaming-mode toxicity performance in a high-performance thermoplastic platform designed specifically for injection-molded interior components. Aircraft interior thermoplastics must meet stringent fire standards while maintaining durability, thermal stability, and process consistency. As legacy fluorinated material systems face increasing regulatory scrutiny, ma
NETSCOUT Reveals Qualitative Shifts in DDoS Attack Sophistication, Infrastructure Capacity, and Threat Actor Capabilities4.3.2026 12:05:00 CET | Press release
AI Adoption, coordinated botnets, and persistent hacktivists groups drove millions of attacks NETSCOUT® SYSTEMS, INC. (NASDAQ: NTCT), today released its second half of the year 2025 Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) Threat Intelligence Report, revealing sophisticated attacker collaboration, resilient botnets, and compromised IoT infrastructure that drove more than eight million DDoS attacks worldwide – some as large as 30 terabits per second (Tbps) – marking a new era of hyper-scale, coordinated threat activity that continues to outpace global takedown efforts. Meanwhile, the accelerating growth of DDoS-for-hire services is empowering a broader range of threat actors, intensifying operational risk to digitally connected organizations and enterprises. Implications for security professionals extend far beyond volumetric concerns and include reconnaissance and adaptive evasion which challenge traditional defense paradigms. Organizations must match adversarial innovation with intelligen
