Chemical Abstracts Service Common Chemistry (CAS Common Chemistry)
CAS (Chemical Abstracts Service) Common Chemistry is an open community resource for accessing chemical information. Nearly 500,000 chemical substances from the CAS REGISTRY cover areas of community interest, including common and frequently regulated chemicals, and those relevant to high school and undergraduate chemistry classes. This chemical information is manually curated and provided in alignment with their role as a division of the American Chemical Society. For more unique substances, complete and submit a CAS Registry Lookup service order form and receive results within 24 hours from the related CAS Registry.
