TURI has been using the Hansen Solubility Parameters (HSP) theory
for various solvent replacement projects such replacing methylene chloride for
paint stripping, but we are hoping to replace other hazardous cleaning
solvents. Senior students who have used the Hansen Solubility Parameters in
Practice...

The Lab encourages the use of safer surfactants through its connections to EPA's Design for the Environment and the Safer Detergents Stewardship Initiative. We have been recognized by EPA as a Champion of the SDSI program. We are constantly reviewing the latest surfactants listed in the CleanGredients...
TURI Lab testing involves rigorous scientific testing. We have partnered with IEHA to help promote effective cleaning products. The program tests green product performance on real-world soils and to be approved for the IEHA HPCP program, a product must perform exceedingly well on more than one type...
From time to time we get requests for finding safer cleaning products. Many times these questions can be answered by using our on-line test results database, CleanerSolutions.
