• Solvent Alternatives Guide (SAGE): SAGE is an Internet-based tool developed by
the Surface Cleaning Program at Research Triangle Institute (RTI) in cooperation
with EPA’s Air Pollution Prevention and Control Division to identify solvent and
process alternatives for parts cleaning and degreasing. SAGE works as an expert
system asking the user a series of questions concerning the part’s size and volume,
nature of the soil to be removed, production rate, etc. SAGE then produces a ranked
list of candidate processes and chemistries most likely to work for a given situation.
Since SAGE is based on readily available and proven processes and chemistries, it
does not assist in the design of new solvents. SAGE is available at
http://clean.rti.org/.
• Coating Alternatives Guide (CAGE): CAGE is based on similar principles found in
SAGE but focuses on identifying alternatives for paint and coating formulations.
CAGE was also developed by RTI in cooperation with EPA. It is an expert system
designed to provide recommendations on low VOC/HAP coating alternatives for
various substrates. It also provides the user with links to other useful websites.
CAGE is available at http://cage.rti.org/.
• Enviro$en$e, first opened to the public in 1994, is a central reservoir of pollution
prevention and cleaner production information and databases. It provides the user
with a solvent substitution data system, compliance and enforcement assistance
information, and a site for communication and exchange of information
(Enviro$en$e Cooperatives). Enviro$en$e can be reached at http://es.epa.gov/.
