URL: http://cage.rti.org/
Full Work Author: Research Triangle Institute
Abstract: The Coating Alternatives Guide (CAGE) is a pollution prevention tool for paints and coatings users. CAGE is designed to recommend low-VOC (volatile organic compound) and low-HAP (hazardous air pollutant) coatings that may serve as drop-in replacements for a user's existing coating operation. CAGE was developed by the Pollution Prevention Program at Research Triangle Institute (RTI) in cooperation with the US EPA Air Pollution Prevention and Control Division (APPCD). The site also contains information on process conversions, application equipment, State information and regulatory matters, related events, and links.
