There are several new technologies under development. Some involve substituting solvents coupled with modifications to existing machinery, while others involve the use of newer machinery. The Cleaner Technologies Substitute Assessment (CTSA) briefly describes liquid carbon dioxide (CO2) and aqueous ultrasonic fabricare technologies and the solvents Rynex and Biotex. There may be others, but these are the only ones USEPA currently has information on. These technologies are in various stages of commercial development, therefore, information is limited and may be speculative.
