Understanding the CAS Number: Your Guide to Chemical Sourcing
In the complex world of chemical sourcing, precise identification is paramount. Whether you are a procurement manager, a research scientist, or a product formulator, knowing how to identify the exact chemical you need is critical. This is where the Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS) Registry Number, commonly known as the CAS number, plays an indispensable role. NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. utilizes CAS numbers to ensure clarity and accuracy in our product offerings, including specialized textile auxiliaries like our Anionic Acrylic Acid Multi-Component Copolymer.
A CAS number is a unique numerical identifier assigned to a specific chemical substance. It consists of three parts, separated by hyphens, with the last digit being a check digit. For example, our Anionic Acrylic Acid Multi-Component Copolymer for Enhanced Printing Thickener is associated with HS Code 3809910000, which relates to classification for customs, but the core chemical identity is often best referenced by a CAS number if available and specific. However, for complex mixtures or copolymers, a single CAS number might represent a representative component or a general classification.
Why are CAS Numbers Essential for Buyers?
For buyers, understanding and using CAS numbers offers several significant advantages:
- Unambiguous Identification: CAS numbers eliminate ambiguity. Different names or synonyms can refer to the same chemical, but a CAS number points to one specific substance. This is vital when you need to buy a particular ingredient for a formulation.
- Accurate Sourcing: When you search for chemicals, using the CAS number ensures you are looking at the correct product. This saves time and prevents costly errors in procurement.
- Regulatory Compliance: CAS numbers are widely used in safety data sheets (SDS), chemical inventories, and regulatory documentation. Having the correct CAS number facilitates compliance with local and international regulations.
- Comparative Analysis: When comparing products from different manufacturers, checking their CAS numbers can help verify that you are comparing identical substances, ensuring a fair assessment of quality and price.
