Free TCE Cleaning Alternatives workshop
Are you STILL using TCE to clean your parts?
You need to find a safe substitute because:
- TCE is a suspected carcinogen and creates an unsafe and uncomfortable work environment
- TCE is highly regulated, by both the RI DEM and the U.S Environmental Protection Agency
- TCE has been found at air monitoring stations in Rhode Island, and will continue to be the subject of enforcement actions by both RI DEM and the US EPA.
Find an effective alternative cleaner at the Free TCE Cleaning Alternatives workshop to be held on March 14, 2008 from 9:00-12:00 PM at the Rhode Island Community College, Warwick Campus, 400 East Avenue, Warwick, RI. (www.CCRI.edu)
Got rid of your degreaser?
Do you have an enclosed system?
You can still attend to determine if your process is working as well as it can!
The Toxics Use Reduction Institute’s Surface Solutions Laboratory (TURI Lab) from the University of Massachusetts Lowell will be on hand to explain their scientific process of finding you the right cleaner for your parts.
Some cleaners are drop in replacements that can be used with your current equipment, others will be water based products.
Bring your dirty parts and try out the water based cleaners and equipment.
Follow up testing and on site assistance will be available FREE to the first ten companies to sign up for this workshop!
Testing at a reduced cost will be available to all Rhode Island Companies!
Hear from companies in your neighborhood.
Learn how they have replaced TCE at their facilities!
