• CAS Number Index contains CAS number entries followed by a listing of their trade name product and chemical equivalents in alphabetical order. The chemical name is in boldfaced type.
• EINECS/ELINCS Number Index contains EINECS/ELINCS number entries followed by a listing of its trade name product and generic chemical equivalents in alphabetical order. The chemical name is in boldfaced type.
• Chemical Formula Index contains the formulas of the chemicals in this reference alphabetically ordered by their constituent elements. Note that in some cases there will be more than one chemical for each formula because many chemicals have the same formula with positional variations (e.g., o-, m-, p-).
