Nancy,
There are more than a few replacements they could look
at. The Massachusetts TURI CleanerSolutions Database can provide them with
some suggestions based on contaminant, substrate, and cleaning equipment.
Because the database is built on years of testing by the
Lab, it provides an indication of the effectiveness of a particular cleaner
for a given contaminant/substrate/equipment combination. The
suggestions/search results can be sorted by relative safety score.
All my best in 2007!

holidays P2 friends: Do you have
suggestions for this client? She is not interest in aqueous
alternatives. I
am looking for a good non-hazardous (or less hazardous) drop-in replacement for
the trichloroethylene we currently use in our vapor degreaser. I wish to
utilize a chemical that I will not require an air-supplied respirator for my
operators. We currently hand-wipe our parts with denatured ethyl
alcohol. I am not looking for a cold solvent to hand wipe parts with, or
an aqueous cleaner. If
you know of anything or anyone who can help, I would appreciate the
information! Have a Merry Christmas
